Books piled high like a mountain climb

She counts her hours lost in time

Late night cries mixed with old house creaks

Dreams carved in nights she seeks

Outside her friends paint the town

She wears a future like a crown

Sacrifices they can't see

A dream to heal is never free

Oh the weight she carries deep

In the silence where dreams sleep

Yet she won't regret the cost

In the nights where hope gets lost

Soft whisper answers echo loud

In her heart she feels so proud

Balancing the scales of fate

Running fast yet she feels late

Diagrams dance in her mind

Bitter tears she leaves behind

Whispers of doubt she won't hear

Eyes locked forward future clear

Oh the weight she carries deep

In the silence where dreams sleep

Yet she won't regret the cost

In the nights where hope gets lost
