I recalled those days <br />When time was right <br />When going was smooth <br />When dreams were big <br />When I was doing good <br /> <br />I recalled those words <br />Which my mind said <br />Which my tongue uttered <br />Which my lips supported <br />Which i said in hunger <br /> <br />I recalled my life <br />When eyes looked straight <br />When hands shanked firm <br />When legs walked strong <br />In this same place <br /> <br />I entered the same place <br />Now with a calm legs <br />Now with a folded hands <br />Now with a fallen eyes <br />Along with a low beat <br /> <br />I had searched for words <br />I was ashamed to talk <br />I stood with tight lips <br />I had fallen down finally <br />I accepted my failure openly <br /> <br />It gave me lot of relief <br />It gave me peace of mind <br />It showed me helping hands <br />It moved lot of my worries <br />It made my eyes straight again <br /> <br />My choice was really hard <br />It took lot of time <br />It took lot of courage <br />It took lot of killing <br />My falling was not a failure <br /> <br />I had fallen only to rise<br /><br />Kranthi Pothineni<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fall-to-rise/
