This isn't my battle to fight

I've always thought that getting the best grades in school means I'm winning the race

I'll feel accomplished

And fulfilled

So I tried my hardest

I didn't realize I was falling into the hands of society

Why was I revolving my entire life on my studies?

So I could please myself...

I don't, I don't want my life to centre around school

I don't want be blinded by the society's desire of having the best grades in school

Because they say if you do well, your life will be better

I realized by the end of it all, I still wouldn't be happy with the results

But it's too late

My mind has already been hey-wired to follow instructions

And learning to deviate from the rest is not something I could do

Why

I don't want my life like this

I don't want to lose to the world

No that's not right

I don't want my battle to be in this world

I don't want to lose to this world neither do I want to win here

In the end, it won't be worth it...
