Start-Up

Thou shalt not be on your own,

For it is stupid of thou to leaveth thy job!

What shall they speak of thou?

What sinned thy parents to have thou as a son?

Failure and agony befalls thou,

If thou walk on a road less walked!

I was warned not to startup,

When I said I wanted to pursue my dream,

Tis to leave my job and start my own!

Motivated no one, felt left alone,

That inspired am I, left the job to start-up!

Armed with an idea and some saving,

Started I working day in and out less sleeping,

With little experience and help from no one,

Mistakes I made more, learned more!

That inspired am I, left the job to start-up!

Squeezing all my savings, exhausted I with failures,

What made me to try once more?

Failing again, did I let my parents down?

Depressive thoughts ensued, one more try.

That inspired am I, left the job to start-up!

Years passed, totally broke I am,

Sought money from my siblings and friends,

Developed my idea the way I intended,

Popped up a few bugs when tested.

Iterated, iterated, iterated, one more time until fixed,

That inspired am I, left the job to start-up!

Success approached me after fifth year,

Embraced it I by signing in my first customer!

Word spread out, kept accommodating customers,

Grown my startup multifold in a year.

That inspired am I, left the job to start-up!

Extremely successful have I become.

Thou art lucky that success besought,

Tis the reason of thy parent's good deeds!

Proud are they for making thy own life.

Enough with your century-old whining, screamed I.

Success makes people change!

There are naysayers saying nay,

For whatever you do or say,

You would work for ten years for success,

Overnight success and lucky are what they'd say!

Ignored I of what they say, became focused,

That inspired am I, left the job to start-up!
