Rise from the Ashes

Ever since I was born here,
And I watched others around me,
I swore never to make the same mistakes as them.
I made sure I was clean, or at least tried hard to be.
But alas the bug that flew around, found a weak moment in me!


It bit me worst, worse than ever before,
I came crashing down hard, on the cold floor below,
All expectations shattered and pride wounded so bad,
I bled till I thought I had no more to flow.


But life ain’t so easy, it doesn't leave you to die,
It keeps you alive, to watch and survive,
And believe me it kills as people watch you from above,
And mock and judge as you stay fallen below.


Nothing you pray can make time go back,
To change that one step, or wrong turn on the right track,
It was done, your true place was shown to you.
And all you can do now is learn what it really is about you,
That made you fall so horribly, flat on your back!


A man who is fallen may be ridiculed and judged,
He will be taught of his place for a while,
But a true man is one who can push himself up,
Can show the world he flawed but has now risen up.


A man who never falls, is remembered as never wronged,
But a man who has tasted a fall and managed to move on,
Is one who can truly say he will never wrong,
For once out of hell no one wants to goes there again,
'Coz it is only then that we truly value our Heaven.


I am struggling to get up, to heal my wounds,
To rise up in my own fallen eyes.
To once again regain all the respect that is lost,
And soar higher than I did ever before.


Nothing lost can’t be regained except time that has passed,
Every test once failed can be again passed,
It is easy to fall, but the struggle begins now,
To first forgive myself and then prove to those around...
One fall is alright at least now you know,
Never to be Weak, for the life that we own,
Just cannot be experienced if you stay fallen below!
