A Little Confession To Papa

#5

I asked myself
Why can’t I be like her?
Calved in a very luxurious life
Loaded with an abundant wealth

She might never felt this
About all of these worries that I hold

That I also had a dream
A dream that I believed 
A concreted one
Such concreted till I could probably just have reached out my hands and achieved it easily

I hold onto that dream for years
Went into a good institution
Forced myself to do everything perfectly 
I put my own laziness just to make it happen
Was struggling and hard working
Motivated myself each time I bushed

But when it’s time for me to continued it
I realized
That I didn’t have enough money to spend
To helped me achieved my biggest dream

I cried and prayed
I confessed to whom I always believed as my creator
I asked Him but I was too afraid to do so
Because I already asked Him that much

I told Him about my worries
But I still didn’t get the answer

Father, just let me know
That I could still be success one day
Though the path wouldn't be as smooth as I expected

Papa, I am sorry
That I can’t keep my promise
I promise to make you proud
I promise to reach that scholar and study abroad for you
I am sorry, I couldn’t even make you happier during your life

Papa, I am sorry
