Intentions
My intentions are pure, no malice inside
Yet I’m being ruined, crushed by the tide
I dreamt of goodwill with every step I took
But my desires went unseen, no one gave a look
I wished peace for all, just a moment of rest
But in return, my heart carried only unrest
I hid my tears behind every smile I made
Yet no one saw the sorrow that stayed
I wanted to see them happy, free from pain
But my prayers vanished, like whispers in rain
This question haunts my mind again and again
Why do my pure intentions bring me only pain?
My heart is sincere, but all I receive is scars
Each effort I make shatters like fallen stars.
