I Am a Learner

I am not a loser,

Nor am I, a winner,

But in this moving crowd,

I am a learner.

I became skilled at walking,

When I fell on the floor.

I learnt to talk better,

After fumbling at several places.

I learnt to speak better when,

People told me I was bitter.

Even if my life became empty,

I filled it with excitement and new things.

I realized what rain was,

When I went through the droughts.

I realized what light was,

After I lived in the darkness.

I now know what success is,

After experiencing the consequences

Of failure and collapse.

I know what it feels in solitude,

After being in the noisy mob.

I have learnt what life is,

After being all alone for years.

I realize what love is,

After receiving so much of hatred.

I realize what happiness is,

‘Cause I’ve been through the grief.

I know what friends are in life,

After meeting my foes.

I know what the warmth of sunlight is,

After living in the cold winters.

I realized what gentleness of flowers was,

After I got hurt by the thorns.

I realized what beauty was,

After I saw that ugly tree.

In my life, I’ve always learnt,

Something from everything,

I’ve seen, I’ve heard

And I’ve experienced.

Because,

I am not a loser,

Nor am I, a winner,

But in this moving crowd,

I am a learner.
