Shattered
Hollow soul, heavy heart.
Inner self falling apart.
Things didn't go the way I wanted,
they were far different from what I expected.
Worked hard day and night,
still didn't get the results I visualized.
Maybe could have worked harder,
the result might have been a bit better.
Plenty of thoughts going around,
from dusk till dawn.
They ask, 'are you doing fine?' Mouth says yes but my heart's dying.
Self-expectation broke me,
thought it could be achieved with skills in me.
Self-doubt grew, they would feel I'm not deserving.
Now there is more pressure of proving.
Pressure, fear of failure, always the enemies.
Fight with them and trust your destiny.
I know how depressed and disheartened you feel,
face it and eat it up in your meal.
You can't give up on your dreams,
doesn't matter how tough it seems.
Keep on grinding with a heavy heart,
all your hard work will pay off fast.
Don't listen to negative people's chatter,
and mix their foolish comments with your fruitful platter.
There's more to life.
There's always a new day, with beautiful sunlight.
Bring back the motivation, bring back the hunger.
Not now but you will reach your goal in the near future.
You're more capable and powerful by god's grace.
Just believe in yourself and all will fall in place.
