The Victory Song

Dissuade me from my path,

And I shall take even longer strides,

On the same path, to reach

The same goal, which I had planned

For me, which I had seen

For me. 

Discourage me from my aspiration,

And I shall strive even more,

To drive my conscience onto,

A thirsty quest to quench my being

With its rightful dreams.

Speak ill of me, malign myself,

And I shall pay no heed,

To any of your scruples, for I know myself 

And I do not feel the need to explain,

The person I am, for I know,

Time shall prove it.

Spew your hatred on me,

And I shall only shower,

The love in my heart on you, just like 

I would shower it on all,

For you might want to darken your heart,

Hating me, but, I had never intended

Or shall never intend to,

Taint my heart, paint it,

In a darker shade.

And if you still persist, after all of what

You have had wished to do,

Stay there, by the horizon,

For that's where I plan to be, 

To listen to you, 

Applauding for me.
