We chase success, a mirage in sight,

Work harder, faster, day and night,

We reach the top, only to find,

Our happiness left behind,

Success, an illusion, what a plight.

About the Creator

R.Freya

Poetry is my soul's language, and I wield words like a paintbrush. From heartbreak to hope, I capture emotions and spin them into verse.
