I didn’t come this far to fail

Opening the door,
My body was so heavy,
It was like
Being dragged into a whirlpool.
It felt like
Drowning in the deep ocean.

I couldn’t
Breathe.
I couldn’t stop
Crying.

I fell down,
Leaning against the wall.
Pieces of paper were rubbed off.
Awards.
My awards.
A ray of sunlight shone in.

Oh dear,
I didn’t come this far to fail.

I write down my emotions and feelings whenever I have a really bad day. This poem was written when I was totally stressed out. After a glimpse at my awards and certificates hung on the wall, I suddenly thought of all the efforts I made in the past years. I didn't come this far to fail.
