Success

by Harshita Das aged 11

You are so envious when
You see others succeed
And yet you don’t know
How bitter were its seeds

With dedication and failure
They reached so high
You need wings
Before you can fly

For the juicy fruits of success
They never gave up hope
The fires of failure, ready to consume them
In the darkness of education, they groped

Yet they found a way
Making a light, for the dark
And now when you look at them
Just wonder, if the hard journey
For the fruits of success
You will survive
