REWARD THE EFFORTS, NOT THE OUTCOMES.

They say,
Reward the efforts
Not the outcomes
As the nightingale
Might change to a black swan.

They say,
Reward the efforts 
Not the outcomes
As the fire in us
May change to ice blood.

They say,
Reward the efforts
Not the outcomes
As the swollen feet
May not see success
Even if they ran 
Across the path of it.


Where is the end of that road?
What is it?
Why won't all of us see the end?
Dont we deserve it too?

"A bud tried to grow..
But didn't become a flower.
Others did."
Doesn't the bud also deserve 
An applause 
For the efforts that
It put in
Even if it didn't satisfy the god.

They say,
Reward the efforts
Not the outcomes 
But barely do they follow 
Their own rules....
