I was never a failure!

Sree

I have never seen myself as a failure!

Though I’ve heard the world whisper that word to others.

It never found a home in me.

 

I was never a failure to my family,

never a fading presence among friends,

never a lost name in the classroom.

I may not be the best

but I am far from broken.

 

We are all first-time travelers in this life,

learning as we go, stumbling, rising

So why judge yourself for being different,

when difference itself is a kind of beauty?

Carry light in your thoughts

It makes the weight of the world softer.

 

In the end, it is all a matter of mindset,

to see yourself with kindness,

even when the world forgets how.
