Victory

Victory! Does not that very word fill you up with hope,
expectation, curiosity and happiness all at the same
time!!! Its indeed a very powerful word! Its something
which we all want to achieve! But sometimes we forget
that in our quest, we must not ignore and belittle
those that are important to us! Those that care about
us! Coz, if we do then there's no one left to celebrate
the joys of emerging victorious with! Sometimes, in
our pursuits we begin to take things for granted and
end up hurting those close to us! Sometimes we chase
dreams,and forget about our friends and family and do
not give them the time and love they deserve! Sometimes,
its best to not chase ur dreams so much that you end
up alone!

This is what this poem is about!
It goes something like......

VICTORY!
Because sometimes even in victory,
Is hidden somewhere a defeat!
Oh but it is'nt strange,
for people to perform this feat!

As we are always looking for excess,
Even after victory craving for more success!
Our insatiable desires we are unable to feed,
Does not this feeling resemble greed?

Sacrifices many we are ready to make,
All but for Victory's sake!
But we never realize what we have lost,
For victory, YES!  But at what cost?

Take some time,
To sit and ponder,
Were the sacrifices worth it,
Or were they a blunder!

Ravaging through your thoughts,
You will find!
Memories of people,
That you left behind!

Wonderful thoughts,
Now filling up your head!
But alas,
Gone are those memories,
Forever Dead!

The truth can tread you a two fold path,
Change your mind for good,
Or fill it with wrath!

Either way,
you will change!
Do not think that even the wrath is strange!

Though you will tread a path of pain,
At the end, you are to gain!

If for the battle,
You call it a day!
Victorious still,
You shall stay!

For not fighting the battle,
is a victory in itself!
You don't archive anything on your shelf!

No blues will come your way,
Happy and cheerful, you will stay!
