Worth it


Not forced

Victory does not care

Your past struggles mean nothing

5 a.m sessions for the perfect application yet you may still fail

Lonely Friday nights yield you no award

Yet you hang on tight, knowing better things come to those who wait

You don’t have to do this. No one else does.

But success comes to those who persevere.

People don’t understand. Is it worth it?

I choose the lonely road on purpose

I’ll make it worth the while.
