Stand up for yourself...

Courage and confidence with a pinch of self esteem and a little ego makes a good recipe for probable success...rest blame it on fate may be..:)

A dog's night

A dog barked at night,
with an endless fright
may be the end was near,
but who knew what did it fear?
for it just screamed out of sorrow
or joy, I don't know-
I just felt a deep outburst.

What has the world given to a dog
except pain and assault,
was it born to sit upright
or sink into an ocean of loneliness!
was it to weep at the darkest times
or to wait for a brighter day light.
I don't know if it was anyone's fault..
but I am cognizant of a disturbed sleep
for I wished to hold it in my arms
but I couldn't.

Oh dear friend, you may not
sleep, eat or speak, but I gather
you are tormented by this awful
existence, but worry not my dear..
soon shall you see a juster life,
with a sea of hopes -or rather
die, better than existing wearily!
