dark clouds fill the sky
it's gloomy and ominous
depression sinks in

how wonderful it will be
to rejoice and celebrate
over your hard earned results

but for me,
it's a disappointment
a disaster

hopes of good results shattered
to a million pieces
awaiting for me to pick up

i try and yet again i fall
that no matter how hard i work
i never ever achieve what i expect

why must lessons come in harsh manners
why can't it ever be the way i want it
i learnt my lesson

never to aim high again
never to be complacent
never to rush

always to be cynical
so when the disappointment sink
i won't be so upset

life's not just about results
it's the journey and lessons learnt
that are more precious

people don't have food
let alone education
i should be contented

people are dying every sec
earthquakes, hurricanes, diseases
seem to be imminent in our society

i ould to give thanks
to be contented
at least i learn

failure is a step to success
i didn't fail though
but i'm sure i learnt

but no matter how i try to justify
i know it will never appease
but depression sinks deeper
