The Indomitable: A poem by Ankurita Khajanchi

I summed up my desires and marked a distant land

Seemingly a chimera in the air, only I could comprehend

My guardian angels smiling, from blue all around

I could hear them susurrate, why do my dreams confound?

And all the favorites of, the omnipotent powers

Did throw some pointers, warned me of the scars

As I began a journey towards my aims of 'morrow

Sin's companion expectation tried bringing in sorrow.

And further, as I tread on, the fallen angel of criticism gave its wry smile

And 'four people' were already there, to question my profile

Devil's sister envy was on a spree, with her crooked green eyes

The self-declared Wizards picked flaws in me, not to my surprise.

The gruesome cousin of Satan pounced on my will

Dejection tried to sink in, that was a signal of peril.

The helpless angels of the divine, couldn't prop up to my rescue

For God helps those who help themselves, this I so knew.

Dithering and unsure, I raised my head, my cheeks damp with tears

There ain't a recourse to look back, but pull the strings of fear

And that hint of the indomitable worked as a trigger

As I stood up to walk again, the angels got back their vigor.
