Burning the midnight oil

Staying up until 5am, burning the midnight oil,
Working hard to achieve their goals, despite the toll.
They know it's unhealthy, but they push through,
For the dreams they hold, and the things they must do.

The world is asleep, but they're wide awake,
Their eyes are tired, but their spirit is great.
They study and work, with a singular focus,
Their passion and drive, never losing their locus.

They sacrifice sleep, and time with friends,
For the goals they have, and the dreams they intend.
They know it's tough, but they keep on going,
For the satisfaction of achieving, and the rewards worth showing.

Their mind is sharp, and their will is strong,
They keep pushing forward, all night long.
For they know that success, is not for the weak,
It requires dedication, and the courage to seek.

So they stay up until 5am, with a heart full of hope,
Knowing that one day, they'll be able to cope.
With the challenges that come, and the struggles they face,
For they've proven to themselves, they can win the race.

And when they finally achieve, what they've set out to do,
They'll look back on these nights, and the hard work they knew.
And they'll smile with pride, at the sacrifices they've made,
For they know it was worth it, and that they'll never trade.
