I prayed and hope for it
I have sacrificed my time for it
But when I got it, I felt nothing

I heard "congratulations"
Such words felt nothing
Just sounds the tongue twisted

They don't know me, maybe that's why
I felt no genuine happiness
Rather I felt deep guilt.
I recently passed my board exam.  I prayed and hoped for it. I saw my name in the list of passers, but I felt nothing. I studied for a long time.

When I passed, I was congratulated, but I don't know them. They didn't know how I struggled.

I wasn't able to celebrate yet. Regardless, I should be happy.  I don't know why, but I just feel guilty. I just wanted to let this out.  Maybe, I'll give my self time to process everything.
