I

A Poem

When I fall,
I stand up.
When I fail,
I don't give up.
When I lose,
Still I hope.
In sufferings,
I try to cope.
When I'm lost,
I find myself.
When reality
Deceives,
Yet, I dream.
In pain,
I try to smile.
In success,
I let go my tears.
In sharing,
I find my joy.
In this life,
I'm a winded toy.
In strangers,
I seek attachment.
In life,
I seek detachment.
In fear,
I find my courage.
When I despair,
Yet I believe.
In anger,
I maintain cool.
I know I'm
Nothing,
Yet I try to
Be something.
