Unseen Battles Poem by Dhruvikumari Sharma

I'm not much of a reader,
but words flow when I write.
I chase the thrill of a challenge,
yet the weight of failure lingers on.

I long to walk the road to success,
but fear the pebbles beneath my feet.
Dreams call me forward like distant stars,
yet doubts rise like gathering storms.

I yearn to follow the wandering wind,
yet my actions chain me to a single path.
I wish to embrace a steady routine,
yet the first step feels as daunting as climbing Mount Everest.

I crave the peace the world hums around me,
yet my own mind stirs the storm.
I wish to study with all my heart,
yet the book before me feels too heavy to open.
