A little poem of my reflections...

Here's a little poem, I hope you like it...

- -- -:- -- -

I blink and batter these heavy lids,
While the hours ticked by and silently slid.
The night turns to morning while morning turns to day,
I haven't caught a wink and the sky's already grey.

The weather's perfect to idle about,
Do nothing more than sit and slouch.
But I've got to drag these massive weights,
And take my tests with a badly splitting head.

Sighs...The life of a goal orientated student,
Not entirely my fault, we're all in the same system.
Yes I admit that I have one too many goals,
And sometimes I work till I forget my soul.

The last leg of the second year is just around the corner,
And boy not only am I mugging, I'll be working as a mascoteer.
Some say I'm crazy and foolish to do such a feat,
But my reason's for me to gain as much experience through this heat.

Cause what I see in the future(the industry) it'll all be the same,
So why not let me give it a shot, since now it's still a game?
We're all so protected behind the textbooks, assignments and all,
So much so that sometimes when we first step foot we stumble and fall.

Oh why, oh why is life like this?
Where we're all so competitive, fierce and aggressive?
Well maybe that makes Singapore stay on the edge,
But it's money, not happiness that people pledge.

All I can say is that the future's not mine to see,
But it's mine to build and fabricate to all degrees.
Yes I know it will be very hard on myself,
But without money, who can look after his health?

You might feel the same after reading this post,
Knowing that you have work stacked up to your nose.
But think away from the present bitter predicament,
And visualise the future full of happiness and affluence.
