Can You Give Me Your Family?

You can’t

I’m just 17 and still, I’m losing my family.

I’m so enthusiastic about my future, I stopped caring about who gave me my future.

I’m so blinded by success, I’m killing my real success.

I’m so passionate about my dreams, I stopped sleeping.

I’m so hardworking, my heart is now hard.

I’m so smart, I left my family in the dirt.

I’m so motivated, I turned emotionless.

I’m so obsessed for a successful life, I’m suppressing the ones who gave me my life.

I’m so occupied in my work, I have a list of excuses to not do my family’s work.

I’m so persistent toward my goal, I couldn’t even assist them and get a Pepsodent.

I’m so engrossed toward my mission, I don’t have time with family for food.

I’m so desperate to win, I work in AC when my dad works out in the sun.

I’m so stubborn, I didn’t go out for 79 days and still, I don’t have my family with me.

I’m so loving towards my work, I push my younger sister when she requests me to design a cute, small girl cartoon illustration for her.
