My past’s a regret,
And my present is in pain
So I walked the darkest alley
Under a very desiccated rain
There are no clouds
The sky is clear
Can’t even feel a single raindrop
Although I’m stripped bare
Yet, my eyes are moist
Tangy drops drizzle down my face
My body’s earned more bruises than skin
My soul’s tired from this chase
But my future’s a Machiavellian
My life’s an arrow on a bow
No matter how much you drag me back
I will pierce through you with my flow
I’m a lion
Hiding under a kitten’s cape
Don’t dare to belittle me
You can’t maneuver my unyielding rage
Sitting in the farthest corner
Away from the spotlight
Grasping for the right moment
To bully the bully’s might
No matter how much dirt you had
To sabotage my status
Look carefully, because now
I’m about to bloom, shining like a lotus
Hard work is brutal
And prodigies are just an excuse
It was this world’s dissing gaze
That made persistence my only choice
Who am I?
I’m pride’s worst nightmare
Where am I?
In the shadows, right behind you
What am I?
A fear that you never accredited
I’m not someone’s passion
That you can look up to
I’m just a Failure’s Revenge
That’s been triggered by you
