Is Surrender Failure? Poem by Kiran Pillai

Surrender or fight the fate?
Wonder what is the right way.
I fought all through my twenties
Just to fall right on my face.

Surrender is not really weakness.
There needs a strength really.
What surrenders submits ego too
Have I really surrendered today?

I know there is lot to win
But, surrender could lead there.
How can surrender make me win?
Is this fatalist to talk so?

Cultures tell fatalism is bad
You need to fight to get prizes
Fight against time is fruitless
Tension and Depression plenty

I could say just surrender
Do what comes your way.
A surrendered man is ready
Is it slavish mind talking here?

Confused if surrender is slavery
Heart tells surrender may not be so.
Maybe the kings surrender to time?
How big is human will really?

I could wonder about surrender today.
I may be strong to surrender as well.
Whole life could be movement really.
Surrender could bring me good challenges.

Maybe the important thing is surrender.
Maybe the relevant idea is surrender
Surrender does not equal failure
Only an egotist mind can fail anyway.
