aNoThEr pOeM

I have not written here for a while because finals are coming up, so I have to start getting ready for them.

Again, I found a poem in my computer. (How many poems did I write on this thing, anyway?!) Unfortunately, I don’t have a title for this one.

I enjoyed the simple luxuries of life
Pursuing my future without breaking a stride
Abruptly, I had to leave it all
And settle for a place miles away from home

Suddenly my plans were threatened
Will I be able to continue what has always been planned?
With my origins fighting over the smallest things
I’m afraid that a scar could form from a simple sting

I could feel reality sting my eyes
Anxiety surfacing every sleepless night
Always asking myself, “Can I make it,
Will I have the will to fight through this shit?”

Nothing to do but sit tight
And watch as fate unfolds my life
I just hope that the wait is worthwhile
Because I can’t keep on masking a fake smile
