What do I want?

Poem

I’ve been praying for compliments I’ve been wishing for success I’ve been climbing the mountain to reach the top But I never know for sure if there IS a top

Compliments scare me I can’t enjoy it with pure happiness There’s a voice in me Keeps saying “Don’t get cocky.”

Then what have I been looking for? If it’s not praise If it’s not wealth What have I been looking for?

I dreamed of being loved by many I dreamed of being brave and courageous I dreamed of kicking people I despise Those dreams keep me contented

But life is not a movie Life goes on without a promise Luckily I do have some targets

Going to bigger cities Going to higher academy Going to leave behind anyone who used to stand beside me

But life is not a compete Life can go without anyone falling Do I have to make sure I’m the better one as always ’Cause it made me exhausted.
