Truth or Dare

Truth or Dare? 

Dare! Truth! I am not scared..

To smile beautifully in pain is Dare

Only what raw naked self knows is Truth

You are really strong..they say

What makes you so strong? they ask

How can you smile? they wonder

What's strength? I ponder

Strength is something which holds the tree tall during a gusty storm..

Strength is something which blooms a solitary wild flower after a fierce forest fire..

Strength is to break a tough coccon to be a merriful Butterfly!

Strength is to weave a spider web on a shaky ruin..

But, thats Nature...it keeps going on..

Laws of nature is to wither or survive 

Aren't we a flowing nature?

Aren't we all Divine's aspiration?

Strength is Acceptance

Accept what's unfair, when all you know is being fair

Accept that you fail, when trying is all you care

Accept your flaws, when perfection is what drives

Accept to do the right, even when for you its not right 

Strength is Acceptance

Accept to let go, when there is no choice

Accept to leave, when that's only choice

Accept to laugh, that's the best rejoice

Accept to embrace, that's strength's poise 

Truth or Dare?

Dare! Truth! I am not scared..

I am hewed to the Nature

And to Divine's aspiration..
