Some dreams don’t come true and it hurts
Especially when you are being
reminded of it
Even after sinking in a whole lot
of effort
With the hope to see it grow in
light for all to see
Especially the type that could have
brought balance
And added more happiness and peace
of mind
Hmm!
Being reminded of such things makes
you feel... Sigh!
Feelings that make you wanna step
back and binge
At such times, I only have myself challenged
Dragged out of my seems to be a comfort zone
Based on the thoughts of the few
who look up to me
The very few who consider me to be a
source of strength
In times like this, external
motivation rarely helps
However, being aware of what could suffer some setbacks
In the future years to come, keeps me on my toes, pushing
With this, I'm assured of light at the end of the tunnel
So, I’m at peace within me
Even though it may not be as bright
as envisaged upon arrival
But I'm certain about a light at the other end
And I look forward to seeing it
More of the reason why giving up
was never an option
