In the quiet of the night, burdened by despair,
A student sits alone, drowning in their care.
The weight of expectations, the pressure to excel,
Invisible chains binding, a silent living hell.

Lost in a sea of doubts, struggling to cope,
Their dreams overshadowed by a relentless slope.
Dark thoughts whisper, tempting escape's embrace,
But hope flickers faintly, a distant saving grace.

In a world of deadlines and academic strife,
They fight a battle, unseen, in the depth of their life.
To those who suffer silently, may we extend our hand,
For within our compassion, a glimmer of hope can stand.
