IT'S MY TIME

The will to win,the desire to succeed, the urge to use your fullest potential... These are the keys which will unlock the door of personal excellence.

It’s My Time

Why is this world so treacherous?

Not letting me remain prosperous.

Every moment I escalate to rise,

A few stare at me with wily eyes.

They extol me to get things done.

Their flattery is a bullet from a gun

Whose intention is to yank me down

And rejoice as they do with a clown.

Pain and patience tested me all these years,

Which I wasted almost in shedding tears.

Life’s hardship taught me new lessons

To bang the world for some rigid reasons.

Found now a huge bag of hidden treasure

That has my skill and grit in large measure.

Holding perseverance my best companion,

Never will I tumble or sink into oblivion.

It’s time I proved my supreme strength,

My sturdy heart and mind at full-length.

When I am blessed to touch the lofty sky

Why shouldn’t I dare to soar and fly high?

I loved it! Great flow and imagery. And I agree with this in my own way, why should you be afraid to achieve something you've worked hard for? It doesn't matter what others think of you, you're doing this for you, not them. Keep me updated for more poems :)

Truthful, great use of vocabulary and wonderful imagery: I really like it. If you want to achieve something, don't let others stop you. Do what you want and don't let them get in your way. It's inspirational; great job :)

Thank you for sharing this poem.
The last stanza is absolutely encouraging for me personally.
I simply love the way you put it in a rhetorical question with such a force that dares me to act.

Exemplary work.

Keep on writing, Angelin.

Supreme! This poem deserves much admiration. The mood of the poem is very engaging: initially, it is a casual 'observation' that claims that the world is a cruel place; a dog-eat-dog world, which every single reader can, in one way or the other, relate it to his/her own life. Then comes the 'uprising' part - the flame that burns in every one of the oppressed souls, every one who suffers; a thought, an idea, a maddening faith that some day, some day, they would be able to fly high.
This is a highly generalized poem. I'm amazed that a poem can be written universally befitting. Take any writ for examination. It would not satisfy, and fit everyone. But yours, delightfully fits everyone's case. Such a wonderful venture, akka.
I love this poem extremely, sometimes, I do envy you that I'm not able to write such exquisite writs.
