The Path Throughout...

When I was young and full of life...
My mother had always told me...
"Study hard, and you will succeed"
And I have always believe in it...

The easy days of kindergarden...
I was topping in every class...
Scoring full marks one by one...
Oh it was a real breeze...

Then came along Primary One...
Looking at new faces around me...
Learning new things everyday...
Was simply exciting...

Primary Two arrived with a culture shock...
I came head on with the "English race"...
Struggles I've faced, tears I've spilled...
Conquered I have over the alien ways...

Primary Five came and for the first time...
I encountered the taste of failure...
Bitter and empty, salty and wet...
Flood my little body with so much despair...

Spent hours studying in Primary Six...
Just so I could get some good grades...
Practicing and studying and memorising...
Stress came and invaded me...

New school in Secondary One...
I saw many talents all at once...
Yet no difficulties was too tough for me...
I believe I was smart...

Though obstacles came in Secondary Four...
None were too challenging...
Climbing all the way to the top...
Nothing seemed impossible to me...

Junior College came at last...
So did many perplexing subjects...
The two years were no picnic...
I strive to get the results I deserved...

Finally I reached what I was aiming...
From the day I start schooling...
University was my destination...
And I had made into it...

But...

Tried as I might, hard as I fight...
Sacrificing all my sleepless night...
I thought back to my mother's words...
And wonder if it would work this time...

Doubt filled my mind...
I hesitate in my steps...
Questioning my ability...
I lost faith in me...

Who will save me?
