Lights dim,
Sounds fade.
Cried long,
Suffocate.
 
Interest lost,
Doubts came:
Worked hard,
In vain.
Talents-none,
Future vague.
 
“There’s still chance”,
assertion lame.
Though, clear,
Come, stay.
 
Tried again,
time paid.
Suffered, persisted,
Progress made.
 
Understanding more,
Stress abate.
Still hoping, wondering,
Dreams flame.
