Born in China,
You became a globetrotter.
You are an artist's delight,
And a writer's pal.
You carried words soaked
In love and hatred.
You were a witness,
To several treaties too.
Pacts were signed on your surface,
And remained sealed forever.
You created...

He was called a snob,
As he failed to make friends.
He seldom spoke,
And preferred to stay alone.
He chose library
Over any party,
His parents worried,
That his life would be empty.
He reassured them,
That he wasn't alone.
And welcomed them,

Memories flooded my mind.

Sculpt our future
From
The lessons

Brought tears to his parents eyes,
Even though their...

The creases on the forehead,
And the twitched brow,
Show us the weight of expectations that we bear.
The weight of expectations,
Is equally proportional,
To the growth of a mortal.
They keep rising,
And pulling us down,
Just like the Earth's...

The journey of life,
Begins and keeps going.
Whatever we achieve or accomplish,
Is just a step taken up the ladder.
Nature, family, friends,
No one should harness our dreams.
Don't stop yourself admiring the success
But take cue and leap...
