Deep within
Lies an abyss of darkness
That renders my soul worthless
It eats me up bit by bit
Aggravating my frustration and depression
Daily, it haunts
Causing stream of tears to spring up
Why am I not best at it?
Why can’t I be like them?
Nothing I’m I but a failure
My heart bleed
When they are seen as better
When grades define our intellect
When the outside physique is counted
And a family name paves way
My soul weeps
When class defines us
And no one knows me
Or I know anyone
I feel lonely, desolate, empty
When social status stands out
Why was I not born
With a silver spoon in the hand?
I’m broken
When they sing out loud their praises
When they hear my story without laughter
When they see me without a grin
When they’re glad
Seeing me all hang-up and isolated
And no shoulder to comfort
My body shivers
When love is for “normal blokes”
And not nerds like me
Need I blame anyone for my misfortune?
For thoughts of pains and sorrows
Fill my heart
It’s not jealousy but alas feeling of lowliness
Yet I repose in my Pilot
Knowing He made me part of an intricate plan
I’ll rise, Yes I’ll rise
