Life Poems

I like ODDS that make me EVEN

Success has no address, No landmark, No calling card, But the path is steep, And some will take the elevator, But i will take the stairs, Some will get there faster, But i will get there stronger, And adversity will be my Traveling companion, Because when i get the there, I can turn to adversity and say, So long, And heave the bag of taunts and insults i gathered along the way, and scatter them to the birds, I will miss them, But feel lighter, Yes, That will be the day, When i stand at a large bay window, And unclench my fist, For there will be no more odds to conquer, Not even the mind,
I like odds, they help me get even

Thanks for putting this poem here. I have been looking for this poem since childhood. Would love to know the writer’s name. This poem has given me so much strength since I read it aeons ago.
