Either Way Poem by Sachidananda Panda

Some say, Am' happy
I too, Exhibit
Signs of success to some,
But, I know!
Am' on the run
Chasing a transitory goal

If am able to reach there
I promise!
To tell you bare
And to all who care

If I fail to meet and stumble
Don't worry!
I would tell you too
The count of sores, Taste of tears
Stains of pain, both loss and gain
The warmth of the loo,
Unnerving fears, While on the move

It would certainly broaden thy smile,
If I succeed
If I fail,
Make no mistake!
I will still smile for you
Sans an iota of anguish,
Wading away, the crippling weeds

It's certainly wonderful,
To have a cap with feathers
No need to bother, If it doesn't
It would add pages, At least!
To the lessons learnt
Either way, am' the winner.
