My life as a student
is like gold tested in fire.
Every day, there are new challenges,
another struggle, another mountain to climb.

My patience is running a race,
like a roller coaster with no stops.
My head spins, dizzy as I try to take each step.
Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry;
standing in the middle of it all,
I ask myself, will this ever end?

My precious years are slowly passing by.
My days are filled with lectures,
assignments, deadlines, and examinations.
Yet, I keep moving forward,
hoping that one day,
all my efforts will finally pay off.

As a student, should I not be joyful?
Yet, sometimes I feel like I am fighting a battle.
I fight against tiredness,
financial difficulties, stress, and uncertainty.

There are times when I cry,
and my tears are filled with the feeling of giving up.
But I remind myself why I started,
why I chose to pursue my dreams.

I may not have everything I need,
but I have a dream.
I may stumble,
I may fall,
but I will rise again.

My feet may give up.
I may be tired.
I may be frustrated by how things look,
and my heart may be heavy with pain.
Still, I will keep walking toward the light,
for somewhere beyond these struggles,
a dream awaits me.
