I Have Not Given Up Yet..

In these tides of times
even when i lose everything that is mine
even when the waves of maladies lash me
and pull me towards a bottomless sea..

There is a part of me
that will never be dead
A part of me
that will repeat what my heart says
"I will not give up yet! "

Because no matter how bad things go
drenching me in disappointments and sorrow

There is a part of me
that knows how to smile
A part of me
that walks inspite of enduring wounds over miles
As i repeat what my heart says
" I will not give up yet!"

Even when the flames of agony burn me down
and turn me into ashes

There is a part of me
that still wants to reach the zenith
A part of me
that rises like a phoenix

Because in the tides of time
i know i will hold back something that is mine

It is those words that my heart said
"I have not lost the battle as i haven't given up yet!"
