Vedika Chawla, Class IX E
When people always criticize you,
For everything you do;
When people prove you wrong,
When you try something new.
When all around you,
Is going haywire;
When everyone says that you,
Are a big, big liar.
When nothing seems to be right,
And when no one comes along;
To support you on the path,
Of protest against the wrong.
When everyone neglects you,
And treats you like junk;
When people make you feel,
Like you’re trapped in a trunk.
When you are totally convinced,
That you have failed in life;
When everyone you trusted,
Stabs you with a knife.
That is the time when you,
Have to understand;
That you must let their comments,
Pass as easily as sand.
People will always pull you down,
To make you feel bad;
And they’ll take advantage,
Of the fact that you are sad.
But you are the one,
Who must keep their head up high;
Never show a sign of agony,
Not even let out a sigh!
Once you are the master,
Of your own mind;
True happiness, for yourself,
Only then will you find.
So remember, in your life,
You must always be yourself;
Never be discouraged,
Never believe that you’re just on the shelf!
