A World That Doesn’t Go My Way, But I Won’t Stop

Life rarely goes the way I want or imagine.
Especially when it comes to dealing with people, things get even more complicated.
No matter how sincerely I try,
there are times when others just don’t understand my heart.
In those moments,
I find myself wondering,
“Did I do something wrong? Or was I just too impatient?”

Sometimes,
it hurts when my sincerity isn’t conveyed,
and it feels unfair when my words are misunderstood.
But now, I try not to let those feelings
pull me down or make me give up so quickly.
Even if I realize things a bit late,
I tell myself how lucky I am to finally understand, even if it’s now.

In this world,
everyone makes mistakes,
and sometimes people repeat the same mistakes over and over.
It especially worries me when I see people in important positions
who don’t even realize their own faults.
It’s frustrating, because
their actions can have such a huge impact on our society.

There are times
when I watch the news or a live hearing on TV
and feel so overwhelmed that I just want to turn it off.
There are too many people
who twist logic just to get their way,
who talk well but lack substance,
who are numb to the pain of others.
Sometimes I even wonder,
“Is this really the country I live in?”
Reality can feel suffocating.

But just because these things exist
doesn’t mean I have to stop walking my path.
I just need to keep moving forward,
at my own pace,
doing what I can.

No one is perfect,
and the world will never go exactly as I wish.
Still,
I choose to believe that my sincerity
will eventually reach someone, somewhere.

I remind myself that the moment I insist only I am right,
I too can become narrow-minded.
So I try, even just a little,
to acknowledge other people’s perspectives and ideas.

Today wasn’t as easy as I hoped or wanted,
but I didn’t give up.
I’ll get ready for tomorrow once again.

Even if the world doesn’t go my way,
as long as I believe in myself
and do my best where I stand,
I believe the moment I hope for
will slowly come closer,
and today, I hold onto that hope.
