The 154-Verse Sonnet: A Tale of Blood and Bones for Homo Sapiens XIII
Mawphniang Napoleon 1993 (Ri Bhoi)
Verse 1:
In life's tumultuous journey, it is okay
To struggle with unhappiness and pain,
Confusion, sadness, shame, and rejection's sway
Can wrap us tight and make us feel insane.
We must remember, we're not alone in strife,
For every soul endures its share of night,
And every heart has felt this wrenching knife,
That pierces through with tears and endless fright.
Verse 2:
But it's not the end, for we still have choice,
To rise above the pain, to conquer fear,
To show our strength, our worth, our inner voice,
And in the end, to leave our marks so clear.
For life is ours, and destiny's our call,
And we can make it great, if we stand tall.
Verse 3:
So don't let others' doubts and ridicule
Diminish you, or make you feel depressed,
For every time they strike you with their rule,
Your spirit rises up and is addressed.
You're meant to shine, to excel and to strive,
To do what you love, with passion and might.
Verse 4:
So keep your head held high, and do not bide
In the shadows of your fears and pain,
But find the courage deep inside your side,
And reach for the stars, and strive again.
For every step you take, and every goal
That you achieve, will make you whole.
Verse 5:
And when you reach the top, and look below,
And see the path you've taken, and the cost,
You'll know that it was worth it, every blow,
And you'll feel proud of what you've accomplished.
For life is not a sprint, but a marathon,
And we must persevere, if we're to win.
Verse 6:
So keep on hustling, keep on thriving, friend,
And don't let setbacks slow you down,
For every step you take, will lead you to the end,
And you'll find happiness, if you don't drown.
And when you reach the finish line, you'll see,
That all your struggles led you to be free.
Couplet:
For life is yours, and yours to make,
And every step you take, is yours to take.
