When Your Goals Are Serious by walking shadow poetry

When you’re serious with your life’s grand plan,
You’ll find yourself alone, more than you ran.
Friends who laughed and walked by your side,
Might drift away, no longer to confide.

You set your sights on dreams so high,
And though you reach, it feels like you’re flying solo in the sky.
Late nights working, early mornings too,
They don’t understand what you’re going through.

You chase ambitions with relentless zeal,
And suddenly, the warmth you felt starts to feel unreal.
Conversations that once flowed like a stream,
Now feel distant, as if they’re just a dream.

They may say, “You’ve changed, you’re not the same,”
But it’s your goals that you’re striving to claim.
It’s not that you’ve turned away from them,
It’s that you’re focused on reaching the hem.

The nights of laughter, the days of cheer,
Are replaced with plans, and a vision so clear.
And as you rise, they might fall behind,
Leaving you with only your dreams to bind.

Yet, amidst the loss, there’s a truth you find,
That pursuing your goals isn’t being unkind.
It’s about being true to who you are,
And chasing your dreams, no matter how far.

So, don’t be disheartened by the empty space,
Your path might be lonely, but it’s your own race.
For in the end, when your goals are achieved,
You’ll find the friends who truly believed.

They’ll return with a cheer and a smile so bright,
And celebrate with you, through the darkest night.
But remember this as you follow your dreams,
True friendships stay, despite how it seems.

So, keep moving forward, stay strong and true,
And know that the journey is made for you.
In the end, it’s not just about what you gain,
But the courage to follow, despite the strain.
