A Diamond in the making

She was young and inexperienced,
a mere novice in the industry.
But she was smart and diligent,
and never compromised on her integrity


She was better than most of her peers,
Yet she conducted herself with grace and humility.
She was caring, she was helpful,
And she charmed everyone with her simplicity.


But what she was about to experience,
Was an unexpected and unforeseen event
Scapegoat to her superior’s malice,
She could not escape this torment.


Belittled, berated, disheartened and demotivated
Yet she neither argued nor complained.
Realizing that her service would soon be terminated,
Her emotions could now not be contained.


The lump in her throat didn’t let her speak.
So she let her tears fall into the sea,
In the hope that they will soon evaporate,
And rise up to meet the Almighty.


From the cloud He identified her tears,
He knew her heart had been aching.
But she needed this experience for perfecting her facet
For she was His diamond in the making.

Live your dream...

Do you have a dream?
A dream that doesn't let you sleep,
A purpose that keeps you awake.
The determination to do what you believe in,
even when the world tells you its a mistake.

When a thousand people say," You can't!"
When a few more say, "You're out of your mind!"
Will you still have that conviction?
Or will you leave your dream behind?

To what extent will you go to protect your dream?
Would you still pursue it knowing that you're all alone?
Or would you change your mind to follow the world,
and become one among the many unknown?

It is your dream!
And that dream is what sets you apart my friend.
Even if you choose to ignore it,
That dream will stay with you till the end.

It's up to you to fulfil it!
It is a part of your prophecy.
It is a part of who you were, who you are,
And it will define your destiny.

Sometimes you'll feel you can't do it alone.
But alone, you never shall be.
Because the One who blessed you with that dream,
is the one who will always guide thee.

So don't give up, don't hesitate to seek help.
just because you're temporarily unable to see, don't assume you're blind.
Faith; is taking a step forward in sheer darkness.
Some things will find you, and some things you'll have to find.
