Poem
In the stillness of night, I find myself alone, A young soul with dreams, but fears have grown. I’m caught in a struggle, a war in my mind, Wondering if I’ll make it, or be left behind. My heart is heavy, with memories of the past, She left me for another, a pain that won't pass. Her betrayal cuts deep, it echoes in my head, A love that once lived, now shattered instead. My parents look to me with hope in their eyes, They need my help, but I feel paralyzed. How can I support them when I’m so lost? Their dreams rest on me, but what’s the cost? I’m surrounded by temptations, I fight every day, Addictions that pull me, leading me astray. I battle within, trying to stay strong, But some days it feels like I’m getting it wrong. I’m the hope for my family, their light in the dark, But these responsibilities leave a deep mark. Their expectations weigh me down, push me near, And I wonder how long I can hold back my fear. I reach out to God, but He feels so far, Like a distant whisper, a faint glimmering star. I pray for guidance, for strength to carry on, But the silence is deafening as nights drag on. I believe there’s a purpose for which I was born, Yet doubts and fears leave my spirit torn. The pressure is mounting, it’s hard to stay afloat, As I carry the weight of the world in my boat. The past haunts me, it won’t let me go, But my dreams keep me moving, they’re all I know. Will I make it in life? It’s a question I bear, But I keep moving forward, despite the despair. The subjects I study push me to my limit, At the finest school, my efforts feel infinite. I strive for success, though the path is steep, Hoping that one day, the rewards I’ll reap. Frustration lingers, like a cloud in my mind, Will I ever win, or be left behind? The past weighs me down, but I won’t let it last, I’ll keep pushing forward, not dwell on the past. Tomorrow holds hope, a light in the dark, A promise of joy, a fresh, new spark. I believe I can make it, though the road is tough, In the end, I’ll find my strength is enough. So I rise each day, ready to fight, I’ll push through the pain, and reach for the light. For deep down I know, I have what it takes, And one day soon, I’ll rise above the stakes.
