SOMETIMES
Sometimes, I wonder
What success truly means
If it steals your peace
Or dims the joy in your loved ones’ dreams.
I watch the world in motion
Racing for applause and praise
Chasing coins that melts easily
While warm hearts drift away.
They miss the meals that matter
Trading laughter for a task
Declining calls with trembling guilt
Behind masks of ambition.
Sometimes, I truly wonder
What success is meant to be
If love is left unanswered
And you dine alone in victory.
