Balloon

There were dreams

There were desires

There were ambitions

There were aspirations

But, there were confusions too

I was like an empty balloon

Lying in a corner

Wanting for air

Waiting to grab the fame

But failure befriended me

Though reluctant, I was getting closer to him too

I started sitting happily in a corner

Admitting my failure

But, they were not happy at my state

Their love and confidence never drained

It propelled confidence in me

The desire to succeed amplified

I worked harder and harder

Success followed wagging its tails

And then I flew like a huge colorful balloon

Higher and higher in the sky

Drawing more energy from the persons clinging onto me

Their smile fed contentment within me

I started flying high

Sometimes with the wind

At times against the wind, crossing hurdles

I flew like a bird

Independent and happy

Just like a colorful balloon that I used to fly high once!!

Dedicated to all the angels, who showed confidence in me… Who never once doubted my capability… I thank them for their smile… Then, for lending their helping hands and always-ready-to-listen ears… I walk with pride because they stood by me and ensured that I befriend success and break the relationship with failure… Love you angels… You made me what I am today!!!
