She floats like a dream,
Before she sinks under,
Carrying in her folds,
She thinks to surrender,
Surrender to challenges,
"I can't be a mere pretender"
She cries throughout the night,
Afraid of committing another blunder,
"I shouldn't have chosen this",
Why did she dare this, again wonders.

Her inner voice with glistening morning arrives,
It completely stunned her,
"Try again, you have to, it's our dream,
Nature do, you're a part of it, you too have a thunder "
These dark days; she realised,
Are here to testify the winner inside her,
"I chose this dream, no matter what, I'll follow it"
Let challenges see "I'm a strong contender"

Though "The Road not yet taken"
It's a journey meant for me,
It'll be a new journey altogether,
A new fairy tale of achieving dreams,
No more cries, no more regrets
I'll fight, i'll strike hard, i'll strive
Results no matter what
It's for sure, it's my best I'll try.
