O soul! Believe in yourself

O soul! Why are you bleeding so much?
Had somebody hurt you?
Just like for his behaviour,
A gruelling dog is beaten by his master.

O soul! Why are you so splenetic?
Had somebody irritated you?
Just like that nursery mistress,
Who screams uselessly at the kinder garden students.

O soul! Why are you so scared?
Had somebody scared you?
Just like an atrocious dream,
That hinders a child’s sleep at night.

O soul! Why are you so anxious?
Had somebody’s thought made you anxious?
Just like a Jinx’s presence in life,
That makes one’s life full of anxiety.

O soul! Why are you all alone?
Had somebody left you all alone?
Just like in autumns,
Leaves shed down leaving the bare branches alone.

O soul!
Don’t think so much,
Don’t feel so much,
Don’t speak so much,
Just believe in yourself and grab your dream!!

  2. This isn't the same as the original draft you gave me to read. I must say this one has some essence missing but since it ends up with a positive note so that makes it a bit even.
    Its a good poem and i don't get to read like this much so plz write more :)
