Upon This Shelf

Hammad Rais

I can showcase my triumphs
Or the medals I have won

But what about those times
When I failed or lose

When I fell on the ground
Broken for like eternity

Those aren’t my failures
I learned lessons from them

The world should know
How I got back up on my feet

I shall place my failures too
Right beside my victories

On the shelf of my life

Added for Word Of The Day’s Triumph
