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.
