My Chequered Life


It is not important to fight each battle,
It is important to choose the right one to fight.
Because every day I win in an everyday battle,
But the victory is insignificant.


 
I sit back and ponder,
About the larger war that awaits me.
But in the hustle of each day,
I only fight the mere pawns.
Then I realize and wonder,
That I might be the king in my small world,
But in the big world outside,
Even I am a mere pawn.





But this has to change,
And I will bring it.
I will be the one to call out Checkmate,
Be the ruler -  the king,
And fight and win the right wars,
Because JUST winning isn’t everything.

  1. Success doesnt' always come to stronger and faster man
    You will be successful if you think you can

    I am sure you know that you can and you will.....loved the ending.Its not always about winning, its about winning doing the right thing at the right time, in the right way and among right people....Keep going with the same will and tenacity, and you will never pause to make an end....Beautiful painting of words.....Congratulations

  9. So here it begins:
    You have a natural flow, so that's an asset as a poet. Good!
    I can get your thoughts, and understand the feeling pretty well.

    Now, without being too critical, some suggestions:
    1. We all know you are a good writer, but then three paras are just not enough to involve a person to the core. It's my opinion, and I believe, you should try and build more paras around the plot. Write and connect with as many patterns, elements, which can bring out your point.
    2. The last line, written stand alone, hmmm, again, can be integrated. I mean why comment on your own poem :)

    Learning from you, and hope to see you do very well :)

  10. Asset :))
    1). i know wat u mean, it is slightly shallow, but i wanted to keep this one short.
    2). the last line is a part of the poem only..

    yes, from next time onwards ill bring in my POV and explain it better. thank u so much.. Mr. Editor...

    will keep ur suggestions in my mind.
