I walked the halls with heavy eyes,
Hiding a heart that used to rise.
Trusted the ones with demonic eyes.
I chased the laughter that wasn’t mine,
Wasted gold in fools’ designs.

They called themselves the "coolest crew,"
But more like they were, the fools
I sat at tables built on lies,
Shrinking small to fit their size.
They played me bad , they did me *****,
And I wish I left early.

I was a spark, a silent flame
Trapped in games that brought me shame.
Could've scored, but played it tame
Forgot that I had my own name,
Forgot that I had to make it once again.

Back then, I wore the blame with ease,
Got Punished and rarely praised, brought to my knees.
Cried and hurt ,
Died and in shredded in dust
Scolded loud while they stood still,
Falling grades, a fading will.

But As soon as I left the crew
I truly grew
the day they left, the sky turned bright,
The gold returned, my wings took flight.
I studied hard, I found my pace,
I saw the sun, I won the race.
Got a new table to sit on with people who brought out the best.


Certificates in shaking hands,
Claps filled the rooms I walked in.
Black belt was put on my waist,
5 medals dangling on my chest.
The teachers saw ,they praised.
I stood on stages and made my stand.
No second thoughts, no shrinking fear
I finally felt I truly belonged here.

But listen—you who still have breath
To carve your path, to leave them and turn into the best.
Don't blame yourself for not a win, change the environment in which you practice in.
You have potential, don't let them take it
Don't let them degrade it .
Change your circles before they change you to core.


Don’t trade your shine for shallow price
Choose the friends who hold you tight
Not those who dim your inner light.
You're not gonna die a lone wolf,
You'll have your pack and definitely the best one .

You are enough, without their toxic bond.
Your worth is not determined by their pocket's size.
If they can afford they will ,if not they're just poor and out of will.
And if you feel you’re all alone
You’re not.
Just trust me you'll be fine
I made it. I came home.
And you'll too arrive.

— The End —
