Sometimes I fail
To keep me motivated
To keep smiling
Despite inside my heart crying
I still put on a brave front
I still rise up and feel inspired
Only to defeat those
Who leave no stone unturned to pull me down
And I appreciate them
For doing it so conspicuously
That something dies in me each time
Still, I keep them closest to my heart
Each one of us has
These Ravanas in our lives
Who play havoc with our minds
Without us even knowing about them
They can be our ego
They can be our false pride
They can be our inertia to get out of our comfort zone
Or it can be a near and dear one in our life
Dussehra teaches us
To overcome all these Ravanas
Let them not decide
Whether we are happy or sad
This year most festivals or important days
Have started on the wrong note for me
A tear has dropped here and there always
And like always I have sucked it in, in silence
So far I have
Still kept hanging on
But now I am hell-bent
To defeat all the Ravanas
They do it to me
Because I give them a reason for it
Sorry but I am not sorry for myself anymore
They have done enough
This year I promise to myself
To defeat all the Ravanas in my life
With a strong heart and a few words
Until my last breath, I will smile despite all odds
