The things I desperately wanted

By those memories I'm still haunted

I worked hard day and night

I thought that was my only light

But when I finally got what I wished for

Felt like I couldn't care anymore

The scenario of excitement I expected to feel

Was way too far from the real

I was lifeless, devoid of any emotion

Like how a river is before it meets the ocean

I should be over the moon

Though I'm sure it won't happen anytime soon

It's like every single joy is sucked out of me

It isn't for the world to see

They don't know my inner turmoil

They don't see my constant toil

Only I know how hard I work in silence

It's just the sound of my outcomes that sirens

They overshadow my restless nights of efforts

Insincere praises they blurt

I'm tired of this repeated cycle

But they've already put on me,this title.

And now it's too late to stop

So this facade I cannot drop.
