Subject: The disappointment of seeking for academic validation.


Each grade I chase defines my name,

Yet every step still feels the same.

I strive for more, but still, I fall,

Aiming high, but missed the call.


The sleepless nights, the endless fight,

I reach for stars beyond my sight.

Yet what I earn is never grand,

While others win with ease at hand.


Do these efforts even show?

When every “almost” feels too slow?

I give my all, yet lose my way—

Why is life so unfair today?

With hopes that fade, I drift away
