अंग्रेजी कविता: Again and again.

Poem:
Again and again 
Sanjiv
*
Why do I wish to swim 
Against the river flow?
I know well 
I will have to struggle 
More and more.  
I know that 
Flowing downstream 
Is an easy task
As compared to upstream.
I also know that 
Well wishers standing 
On both the banks
Will clap and laugh. 
If I win,
They will say:
Their encouragement 
Is responsible for the success. 
If unfortunately 
I lose,
They will not wait a second 
To say that
They tried their best 
To stop me 
By laughing at me. 
In both the cases
I will lose and 
They will win.
Even then 
I will swim 
Against the river flow
Again and again.
