"Sometimes, I feel lost,
Not because I'm alone,
But because no one truly understands.

They say failure is a lesson,
A step along the way,
Words we hear from loved ones,
Yet, something stings much more—
The silence after effort,
The absence of appreciation.

It wasn’t easy, yet I tried.
Maybe I didn’t reach the destination,
But I had the will to walk the path.
And still, all I hear is—
"You didn’t do enough."
"You should have done more."
"When you had the chance, you didn’t."

These words cut deeper than failure itself.
Because only I know the battles fought,
The struggles faced,
Some spoken, some swallowed whole.

But here’s the twist—
Every obstacle shared becomes a burden blamed.
So maybe, if they won’t understand,
It’s better to keep it within."
