Mirrored Reality

I don't know how much and how much is not this telling truth

he got admission in a college

but I have a feeling its not what he dreamed of

I recall the glamorous life he lived

while studying to get that one spot

in a place he dreamed of

this reminded me of my own battle

and how I lost in it three times

I finally gave up on my dream

when no road led me there

only bringing me to an end

which was a cliff to end my life

This poem is part of "Fire in My Dreamland: A Poetry Series". This poem is a continuation of my thoughts that i had shared in my poem titled "Happy But Envious" in the year 2024. It was when i was finally taken down by my fate and had no other way to look for solace. The only possible thing for me to do now was to look into other people's window and capture the feeling of joy and imagine a world where i get to experience that and in doing so, i miserably failed to paint the feelings of the muse in that poem. Maybe his life appeared glamorous to me back then but now it is certainly not the case.
