DONT GIVE UP.
Faatimah Maryam Muzammil | | /entertainment

You might be trying hard to make it happen, 

You might be sitting awake working at late nights often, 

You might be taking step by step, slow but steady, 

You might be seemingly ready, 

Yet when it’s still taking time, just dont give up already. 

When accomplishments seem far, 

When you feel dejected, tired or stuck like some bottled jar, 

When you are trying hard to win battles, 

When you are at the brink of demotivation, 

Stand up yet again, dont give up, stay in motion. 

Reminded I am of the lesson the king learnt, 

After losing battles when his heart cried and he wanted to give up, 

Almighty sent to him in the cave a tiny spider as a mighty teacher, 

Who climbed and fell from the cave wall several times but still succeeded to make his web, 

Then the king was rejuvenated with the phrase, dont give up and so he won next battles set. 

Often we are hurt by opinions of others, 

We yearn for validation from peers, 

At every step we stand to rebuild our confidence, 

At every meeting, a new stranger to please, 

Whatever may it be, important is to not give up which is the key. 

Often quoted, “fortune favors the brave”, 

But remember bravery encompasses mental and emotional strength along with physical strength 

It’s not that we begin to take hasty decisions or suddenly rush for things, 

It’s about being rationale, judging correctly and staying confident with motivated wings, 

If It’s not easy yet but it isnt that difficult either, 

So stay on your track with faith in Almighty, a little patience and lot of hope, 

Just dont give up folks
