Let the waves of struggle hit.

I know to the depth of my heart,

That it will affect only a bit.

I feel this seems to be an exceptional art.

 

The pains will derail

The path to success.

But the gains will prevail

To this entire process.

 

The day of ultimatum

Is for what I strive.

This will be the maximum

for what I could ever thrive.

 

Now through my struggle I proceed,

as I hope, to a double I will succeed.
