He sits and ponders,
A hard unpaid laborer in his thoughts,
Studying relentlessly for his dreams,
Shattering desires day by day,
Every minute, every second,
Dedicated solely to aspire,
Igniting the fire within to radiate.

Friends call for grand feasts,
His heart yearns to join the revelry,
Yet he weighs and contemplates,
Resolving the problems within his books,
While his mind resists,
His heart cries out for joy.

His mother urges him to attend a wedding,
To savor fleeting moments of bliss,
But his mind dwells on unanswered questions,
Lost in their depths for hours on end,
Only raising issues tied to the chapters he studies,
His determination makes his mother proud,
Yet she watches the ceremony alone.

His father longs for a game of chess,
Wishing to share emotional connection,
But he searches for the answers,
To the toughest questions on the test,
Roaming through the words,
Guided by his mentor's wisdom.

Why is life so arduous for him?
The answer emerges—he must display hard work,
He must embody unwavering consistency,
Compiling efforts with unwavering resolve.

He is a living, dormant mollusk,
Facing a deadly yet friendly shark,
He must conquer the fear that lies before him,
Stepping beyond the confines of comfort,
Only then can he truly live.

He is one among countless bees,
Seeking the nectar of a solitary petal,
The competition is fierce, unparalleled,
Here, one must act or perish.

He refuses to confine himself,
Yet constrained he must be, with no choice,
For it is his supreme necessity,
His foremost duty that he must fulfill.
