In the hush of midnight, the silence echoes,
An early riser, ends up with the shadows.
I’m a dazzle in fire, breathing of hopes and dreams,
In a crackle, silent screams bursting at the seams.
Rose-tinted visions fade as tasks pile high,
Papers weighted on my shoulders makes me sigh.
A runner from time with things I cannot control,
Faltering deadlines, under pressure takes its toll.
Each goal reached seems far, like a distant star,
Facing a steep battle, a lingering scar.
Burning flame I once carried now seems to dwindle.
All roses covered within, I refuse to settle.
In gusts of restless nights, the embers still light.
Let knowledge beam the exams with might.
Exhausted but unextinguished, keep the flame doze,
For beneath the ashes, a hidden warmth still glows.
As the semester wanes, we’ll rise anew to ignite;
Fuel the fading fire, and let ardor burn bright.
