The Cost Of Desire

"I have to work so hard to achieve something that even my dreams feel like a burden."

In the depths of my soul, a flame burns bright A fire that fuels my dreams, yet fills my nights With anxiety and doubt, a weight that's hard to bear A burden that I carry, with every step, and with such care

My desire, a double-edged sword, that cuts both ways A driving force that pushes me, yet fills my heart with gray For every step forward, I take two steps back A constant struggle, to find my footing on the track Joy is a fleeting visitor, that rarely stays For in the pursuit of greatness, I've lost my way In the haze of striving, I've forgotten to breathe And even my dreams, feel like a weight to retrieve But still I push forward, through the darkness and the pain For in the depths of my soul, that flame still remains A fire that flickers, with every fight, Guiding me towards a distant light.
