Empty
Do you know how it feels?
To work so hard for something you want so badly
To risk everything
For that one thing that you’ve always wanted
You only have one chance; you can’t fail
Do you know how it feels?
To prove everyone wrong
Everyone said you wouldn’t make it; they told you to give up
On your dream; that one thing you always wanted
You didn’t give up
You refused to give up on your dream
So instead, you prove everyone wrong
You beat them all at their own game
Do you know how it feels?
To sacrifice so much
Because everything you’ve always wanted is right there
It’s all right in front of you
But you have to work for it; because it could be taken from you in a second
Do you know how it feels?
To walk on eggshells
To be constantly watched; everyone is waiting
For you to mess up
Do you know how it feels?
To change your old habits
Your morals and your principals
To show up early and work late
To fake enthusiasm
Because your dream is on the line
Do you know how it feels?
To volunteer for everything
To do literally anything
Just to clear your name and your reputation
To rebuild yourself
After your entire squadron watched you bleed; your pain visible
To everyone
Your pain; your secrets
No longer a secret to anyone
Do you know how it feels?
For your most painful memory
To be used against you
As a source of entertainment for members of your own squadron
Your most painful scar is now a piece of gossip
To the ones you once called friends
Do you know how that feels?
To pick yourself up
After falling so hard
Without a helping hand or a crutch to guide you
You’re on your own
But you surprise everyone
Because you stand up on your own
And prove everyone wrong
Do you know it feels?
To be told that you’ve changed
That you’ve impressed everybody
Because nobody believed in you
Nobody thought that you could turn yourself around
And take back control of your future
At a time when your life was out of control
Do you know how it feels?
The disbelief and shock that you’re in
When the doctor medically clears you
For your dream assignment
To be told that you are finally cleared and free to go
To your dream; Tokyo, Japan
The largest city in the world
You don’t know how it feels
To finally have everything you’ve always wanted
Everything you’ve worked so hard for
You made it
Nothing is missing in your life
You have everything
Do you know how it feels?
You don’t want to know how it feels
Because after having everything
After reaching your goals and your dreams
You feel empty inside
You should be happy
But instead of happiness and pride
You feel empty inside
If nothing is missing in your life
Why are you still bleeding?
Because, you see
The most successful people
Who seem to have everything
Are also the most unhappy
You don’t want to know how that feels
