Trying
TRYING
Trying to behave being a perfect human being.
Wisdom is my trove of treasure not to measure
but to cherish intellectual pleasure not to exhibit.
Trying to carry opulence of compassion as passion
never indulging malice or lies.
My emotive urge can’t dominate to deviate from honest path.
Trying to fulfill ambition is my dream not to build castles in air.
Victory or defeat, gratitude or deceit can’t overpower.
Neither putting self in dismal nor feeling proud in happiness.
Living like an ordinary woman in populace taking responsibility,
erecting head in crowd, selecting morals, detecting loops and flaws.
Trying to hold my soul high above dust and dirt,
like to treat friend or foe from top to toe in equal status.
yet trust only loving friends.
Trying not to give up but train myself to wait and watch.
Success to access has prime props on truth and devotion.
Words ‘If’, ‘But’ ‘Perhaps’ are deleted from my dictionary.
Always affirmative assertive approach.
Above all eternal love to lead and guide.
