Rise Up



Do you think you can make me back down from a challenge?
Do you think I’ll just stand and let you do the damage?
If so, you’re mistaken because I’ll hold my head high and gallant,
I’ll find my own way, not through sheer luck but talent!

You’ll see me rise up!
I’m ready to give a bold answer so you better wise up!
Try to set obstacles in my life-long marathon?
Oh well, I’m far from a coward so bring it on!

You may try to break my heart but hear it pound now!
I’m determined, I won’t give up and that’s my vow!
You may try to shake my resolve,
But your pessimism won’t get to me because it’s only strength and optimism in what I involve!

You’ll see me rise up!
My scriptures have taught me that overflowing is my cup.
You cannot break me or shake me,
‘Cause at the end of the day, I’m in control of my own destiny!

I’m on a master quest and I’m on my way to victory,
I know I’m a champion and my name will be embedded in stones of history!
You may call me stubborn but I called it strong-willed,
I’m skilled and thrilled and with determination I am filled!

You’ll see me rise up,
I won’t let the storm blow me down and I’ll always stand up,
My foundation is strong and even stronger will be my set-up,
Get ready world because you’ll see me rise up!

Varnika Veronica

Greetings and salutations! Welcome to my world of words! I'm Varnika, a teenage voracious reader and author-in-the-making who is always up for a good challenge and always strives to seize the day. I have a monumental love for writing and I'd like to roll out the red carpet for you and invite you to venture into this universe built on words and honest-to-goodness and authentic feels established by yours truly. As my user name suggests, I'm a bibliophile and have a prodigious amount of love and admiration for books and the characters they hold within themselves. I prefer fictional novels, especially YA fantasy (mythology geek alert too!), although I try not to limit myself to one particular genre. Entering a fictional world and becoming a part of it is a feeling I'd never compensate for anything. The blissful feeling of drowning in a fictional world of fantasy, faeries, mythology and magic where each word is a step ahead in the journey is irreplaceable. Except for having ORD (Obsessive Reading Disorder), I also enjoy public speaking and as I love to embark on new endeavours and quests to fulfil my unrestrained and boundless curiosity, I recently decided to learn to play the ukulele. Going strong and steady yet, so wish me luck! Thank you for taking the time to read about me and I hope that whatever obstacles you may be facing right now becomes a testimony of your undeterred confident and sanguine attitude. "So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen." - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 more…
