Raja’s poem

 Never give up

There was a boy, in a normal neighbourhood, 

in a normal house.

Like Pied Piper he chased the mouse.

He searched for treasures buried deep. 

Of portals in which time took a leap.

He wanted to become someone extraordinary.

He wanted to be remembered in the books of history.

His dreams wouldn’t let him sleep.

His visions were big and deep.

What happened to the boy?

He grew up with sorrow and grief

By the window he used to weep

His fear ate up his self beliefs 

His failures made him give up

The sky once which glittered with stars was dark

Dark as his life had become

With mundane routine an no fun

Had he not given up, his life would become 

a story of inspiration to many others.
