The Strenuous Alley!!

Curious to know, to act, strong-minded

She chose the alley with a qualm though determined

“oh! I could have done it” she didn’t want to feel

She gave it a try with all new zeal.

The alley was deep, dark, filled with horror

She lit a lamp to face this terror.

But as all were keen in blowing off the lamp,

Her zeal was slipping off like sand.

All rebelled “don’t sulk, don’t give excuses”

Some pacified, some scared her

Leaving her all the more uneasy

To all this she decides to give no ear.

But the alley never stopped bumping in unfair encounters

Helpless, alone struggling she thinks

“Karma will do its work to such sins”

The continuous depression confuses her

“Why should I bear all this at no fault of mine?”

But was unable to act, revolt or make things right

As she took a lot of time to set herself alright.

Collecting broken pieces of heart, courage and zeal

She wonders how many times she has to appeal

To live and let live with security, love and care

Alone, herself she calms down the flare.

“The road to success is challenging” - she learnt

But fed up of all this she worries about her destination

Doubting the alley would fetch her a fruitful end

She learnt to stand up again after the bend

She knew that things would be tough

But understood the sense of undergoing the pain

And true meaning of DIFFICULTIES

By choosing the journey through this

“Strenuous Alley”
