NEVER GIVE UP

toiled. tortured. starved. swept over by depression
& failure that blurred his mighty vision
served with soured meal
by critics that chopped him to insignificant bits

failure. salao. demented Messi
no! he wouldn't lift any international trophy
useless as the p in psycho
does he not watch vibrant Ronaldo?

unending backlashes that brings his sadness anew
losing at 4 finals, a tragedy no one would wish
but then, vicissitude of life knocked Leo's door
and he was beset with repeating failures

frustration cemented the pains
his mockery came from all angles
the only option left on the table,
a decision to quit the international game

quitted, but rearranged his thought
he picked up boots to try one more
amid scars. tears. & pains
he wore Argentina jersey to deliver yet again

his magical foot did wonders
deadly freekicks. dribbles. & man of the matches
yet afraid of being beaten at the goal post
for all criticisms would be on him alone

his sour-defined moments now take a new turn
Thiago's father lifted the COPA AMERICA!
all hail the ANGELic Di Maria
who gave the only goal in a tight encounter

at 5th attempt, Messi is lifting an international trophy
oh! but I wake to a bad news
yes! a crazy Ronaldo stan
but to this salient message, I can't turn blind eye

learn from Messi; never give in to failures
never give up, amid your heated wars
all hail King Messi for his undying zeal
I hope many deduce his silent message... NEVER GIVE UP!
