Risking it all
or "doing your best"
Does not always
guarantee 'success'

Wake up. It’s noon. My morning’s here
Stand up. Stretch up. My mind is clear
Walk up towards the usual place
Sit down. Look straight and see my face

Boot up the sleeping tech of fantasy
What time? Grabs phone so I can see
Two hours away from dear midday
The usual heat of hell as well today

Scroll down. Click click. Oh hey, what’s this?
A dog. A cat. Oh, what a bliss
A chat. A post. Some notification
A like. Replies from the online nation

Oh hey. What’s this? Some hours have past
A sigh. A thought. Time fly so fast
Close this and that. Free time is done
It’s time to work. Free time is gone

Move this and that, and animate
Make this. Do that. Oh no, it’s late.
Move fast. Move quick. Must finish it
It’s done. It’s sent. And so I'll eat

Sardines, noodles and some canned foods
Sometimes with rice. Sometimes just goods
When pay is up, take out is fine
A nudge. A chat. It’s now playtime

The League. It’s call. So loud and clear
My friends. My enemies. My champs they fear
Top lane. Bot lane. The jungle is fine
Mid lane is something I have to refine

Oh my. Bright lights. Outside is where it’s from
The Sun, it’s out. And so my night has come
Shutdown. Lay down. It’s time to sleep
Next day. Scroll up. Read and repeat.

One wandering road
And one straight path
That leads to one location

So when the night sun says “Hello”
And wintry winds caress
A thought of you, in my mind, flow
As I lay down to rest

A gentle moon with borrowed light
In other’s glow, shines soft and bright
Though through that warmth comes pure delight
Glows only when the sun’s in sight

In twilight's tender, sweet embrace,
Where dreams and whispers softly dwell,
Let my heartache find its place,
A tale of longing, I shall tell.

As when the night sun says, "Hello,"
And paints the sky with hues so fine,
Within my thoughts, your presence grows,
Yet love's requital, not in line.

While wintry winds caress my soul,
They carry echoes of your name,
Each gust, a reminder taking toll,
Of this unrequited flame's aim.

In depths of slumber's gentle flight,
Where hopes and yearnings softly blend,
You are the star that lights my night,
But our paths may never truly mend.

Together we dance in fleeting dreams,
Yet reality brings forth tears,
For your heart's tethered to distant streams,
Leaving mine in endless fears.

Yet still, I'll cherish moments lost,
Hold them in my secret chest,
A love unspoken, at any cost,
A silent ache, my heart's unrest.

So as the night sun bids adieu,
And dawn's light graces heaven's crest,
Know my love remains strong and true,
In this unrequited quest.
