Re-posting – 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

    Your writings are all great, Hammad, but this poem is especially resonating, and exactly what we all need to hear/read.
