Achilles Heel...

My weaknesses are my happiness’s chains

Air is, and always, deprived of encouraging rains

Sorrows of rejection only flooded with pains.

“Bear your failure’s badge”, chirping the cunning sparrows

“Let us remind your mediocrity with honey dipped arrows”

Averageness is just a soft word for omission to drag soul to gallows.

Blindly climbing up, but soft shaded rainbows have no bright zest

When reach the top, just see the dusty and stormy air at its best

Future driven by customs, destinies are fired by songs of quest.

To perceive success, how many times I must weep

How many times I must quit my sound sleep?

Many times, I must leave my duties cheap.

So, do not burn yourself in furnace of practice

For something which you never yearned to perceive

For a goal, in the end you never wished to achieve.

Follow the heart, embellish, and groom your unique zeal

Stop moaning! Enough mourning over Achilles heel

Gone are all doubts, gone are the pessimistic feel.
