The Greatest Of Battles

The greatest battle on earth

Is the battle within

The one which we fight

With ourselves, mostly

If not daily

We have a disposition

To be drawn towards advances and things alluring

We have a natural tendency

To move towards things negative and harming

We uselessly surround ourselves

With pessimistic qualities

Our thoughts decide about our future

Would you believe this?

I also did not believe

Until I realized it

Through self-experience

And mind's training

My thoughts 

That arises in me

Shape my destiny

Therefore, how can I say

I have no control

On my destiny?

Despite many attempts

Your negativeness

Would surround you

And let all your efforts in vain

But don't lose hope

Even after repeated attempts

Initially, it would be difficult

But with repeated attempts

Even lion taming happens.
