I'm An Achiever Not A Dreamer



*I'M AN ACHIEVER NOT A DREAMER*

When I was born
I started a journey
Of fulfilling an obligation
A written and scribbled story.

My life is a blank page
That I have to fill each day
Finding meaning in every chance
A story I've to write beautifully.

If I had a choice
I'd have chosen a palace
To be called a prince
To have a beautiful life.

Still, with this opportunity
I've to see a possibility
Stay calm even in a calamity
Look,this is the reality.

When the going gets tough
That's when we have to be rough
Maintaining our path true, though
For life, we have to go through.

Yesterday won't define me
It's gone and won't return or surface
Judge me not with my past
For I'm on a path I trust.

Your hatred and  bitterness
Your envy and wickedness
I'll win over them all
What's mine you can't steal.

God has my storyline
I'm His possession so divine
Soon my dark life will shine
All, around my table you'll dine.

    Wow, what a powerful and inspiring poem! The message of being an achiever and taking control of your own destiny really resonates with me. Your use of imagery and vivid language really brought the poem to life and kept me engaged from start to finish.

    One suggestion for improvement would be to work on the flow and structure of the poem. Some lines felt a bit choppy and disjointed, so maybe experimenting with different line breaks or stanza lengths could help enhance the overall rhythm and impact of the poem. Additionally, consider varying your rhyme scheme or incorporating more poetic devices to add depth and complexity to your work.

    Overall, I truly enjoyed reading 'I'm An Achiever Not A Dreamer' and appreciate the positive and motivational message it conveys. Keep up the great work and keep sharing your talent with the world!
