๐ต๐‘ฆ: ๐ด๐‘ โ„Ž

Each morning starts before the sun,
Another battle, another run.
Eyes half-open, hearts still sore,
But we rise again, just like before.

Coffee stains and trembling hands,
Dreams built high on shifting sands.
Notes and papers, scattered wide,
But still, we face it with our pride.

We laugh at pain, we smile through stress,
Pretend weโ€™re fine in this wild mess.
Behind each grin, a silent plea,
โ€œPlease let tomorrow be kind to me.โ€

The world expects, demands, commands,
While we hold life in trembling hands.
Projects, deadlines, endless fight,
We chase the dawn through sleepless nights.

Some days we break, we lose our way,
We doubt the worth of each essay.
But deep within, a spark remains,
A stubborn fire through all the pains.

We stumble hard, we fall, we cry,
Yet wipe our tears before they dry.
Because giving up was never ours,
We still reach high for distant stars.

Our bags are heavy, hearts the same,
But quitting now would be a shame.
For every tear, for every scar,
Brings us closer to who we are.

We study late, our eyes grow red,
Regret and hope fight in our head.
But when we see the morning come,
We whisper softly, โ€œIโ€™m not done.โ€

For dreams are not for hearts at rest,
But for the tired who give their best.
And though the road feels rough and long,
We find our strength, we still stay strong.

So hereโ€™s to all who fight each day,
Who push their fears and doubts away.
Weโ€™re tired, yes, but still we climb,
One step, one breath, one dream at a time.

Because someday soon, weโ€™ll see the view,
Of every goal we fought to pursue.
And weโ€™ll look back, with pride,
We never quit. We only tried.

I am curious,
Trying and so ambitious.
Yet itโ€™s all in my head,
Trapped for being so cautious.

When will I learn
To get out of my shell?
To crave and to learn,
Doing something so well?

I am ready to be seen,
To be heard and to win.
Even fine to lose,
To break and get bruised.

Iโ€™ll be trying and failing,
Even through days of wailing.
I brave every stepping,
Fall, but get back reaching.

I rarely see you now,
and when I do โ€” just from afar,
I look away, pretending not to,
as if distance could keep me safe.

I donโ€™t understand myself at all.
Maybe Iโ€™m just afraid โ€”
afraid to fall even deeper,
afraid youโ€™ll think Iโ€™m an attention seeker.

Sometimes I wonder if you ever cared,
but maybe Iโ€™m just imagining things โ€”
reading meaning in the way you looked,
in gestures that meant nothing to you.

This week has been heavy and cold,
a mix of silence and disappointment.
I failed at something I prayed so hard for,
something I thought would make them proud.

It hurts, because I believed it was time โ€”
I asked God, I waited, I cried.
But maybe His answer was gentle and kind,
โ€œNot now, my childโ€ฆ not yet.โ€

Weโ€™re in the same school,
the same halls, the same sky,
but it feels like youโ€™re a thousand miles away.
Even a simple โ€œhiโ€ feels too far to try.

I want to talk to you,
but pride keeps my lips sealed.
I donโ€™t want to bother you,
so I hide behind my silence.

Maybe you cared, maybe you noticed โ€”
but Iโ€™ll never really know.
I miss you,
but maybe itโ€™s better this way โ€”
to love from a distance,
so no one bleeds in the end.

Across the canteenโ€™s noise, the crowded halls,
our gazes lock like shadows on the walls.
Fierce eyes betray what lips refuse to show,
a storm contained, where only we both know.

The library grows quiet, yet it burns,
with stolen looks for which my spirit yearns.
No whisper breaks, no courage finds its way,
just glances fierce enough to light the day.

From far across the campusโ€™ open space,
I feel the fire ignite within your face.
Each fleeting stare, a secret none can trace,
a war of silence neither dares embrace.

And so we walk, two hearts that never speak,
forever strong, yet endlessly too weak.
The world wonโ€™t know the hunger in our eyes,
a love unformed, but never told in lies.
