Belief in Ourself

Why do we lose ourselves,
When the going gets tough,
Why dont we stay as One Self,
When the Life gets rough.

What is that differs,
Ordinary from Greats,
The Former ---- Always breaks,
The latter always makes.

It all lies inside the Mind,
It all lies inside the Heart,
But the most important,
It lies inside your self - Belief

The Former not only thinks,
But, believe, they can't.
The Latter only believes,
That, they can

Easy to say, Harder to do,
Well, I guess its the only thing to do,
To remove someone lying between,
The --- Former & Latter --- As You.

Rajiv saab, you have an excellent talent of saying things in "simple words". In all the three poems that you have written, there are things that, if followed in life, can make one a better and happy person. Lessons learnt, as you put it - feelings like self-belief, never giving up, making others happy, being kind and considerate towards others can make ones' world and ppl around him a happy place to live in. There will always be mistakes that happen, but as they say, "there are no experiences, but lessons learnt' from it.
Keep it up Rajiv, keep posting more of ur poems !

Hey Rajiv,
I must say...your poems are simple and sweet...it is very easy to be difficult,but very difficult to be easy. You fit the bill for the latter.
Kudos ..simplicity is indeed your gift....
