Poem: Long Way

Image for representation only.

There is a long way to go...
Nothing should stop you, because there is a long way to go. Image provided by the author.

There’s a long way to go,
There’s a long way to go.
It’s not just as you think,
It is not as narrow as the thoughts of myopic Indians,
There’s a long way to go.

It doesn’t matter if you’re alone,
It doesn’t matter if you’re in the crowd of a constellation,
It just doesn’t matter what your current situation is,
You’ve to be as strong as a diamond, because,
There’s a long way to go.

It’s true you can’t change your outer envelope,
It’s true you can’t clean the dirt of this society,
The only thing you can do is,
To wake up like a lotus from the mud, because
There’s a long way to go.

What stops you, pretty girl?
Are they the barriers of this uncultured society?
Are they the fence of an infertile land?
Are they the weeds of dirty stagnant water?
Whatever it is,
You have to overcome all these crises, because,
There’s a long way to go.

There must be no reason to hate yourself,
There must be no reason to curse yourself,
Since, each and every person is unique,
You have to explore yourself, because,
There’s a long way to go.

If those barriers stop you,
Unfollow it and leave!
If the fence stops you,
Jump over it and leave!
If those weeds stop you,
Unwind it and leave!
Because
There’s a long way to go.

You have a long way to go,
You have a long way to go,
It was not just as you think,
It was not as narrow as the thoughts of myopic Indians,
There’s a long way to go.
