I seek (…)

I seek solitude,
I seek solace,
I seek a place to hide,
From the battling demons inside.

I seek happiness,
I seek love,
I seek a light glowering in me,
A burning beacon of hope.

I seek good grades,
I seek pride,
I seek a bright future,
I wonder when the optimistic part of me died.

I seek popularity,
I seek fame,
I seek a place in a Forbes’ list
Yes, this is all I aim.

I climb out of the sad phase of my life,
Yet I crumble down in pain.
I seek quite a lot of things,
Oh, but all in vain.
