In a world apart, I dwell alone,
A life so different, a tale so unknown.
Friends afar, with life so bright
While mine is shrouded in an endless night.

Their laughter echoes, a distant sound,
As I toil away, my heart weighted down.
No college life, no carefree days,
Just the burden of heavy responsibility's gaze.

Their paths are paved in gold and ease,
Mine is fraught with struggles, tears and pleas.
I work to survive, to make ends meet
While they swim in life's sweet treat.

Festivals pass, Occasions fade,
My life's the same in endless...
