In the quiet library,
a tranquil retreat,
Friends convene,
their studies to meet.

Why is it tough,
To keep eyes wide,
Phone in hand,
Knowledge by my side?

Why does the heart struggle,
With tasks undone,
Perfection's a myth,
Yet we yearn for none?

Doubts whisper softly,
feeling incomplete,
Yet in your heart,
courage takes its seat.

Books open wide,
knowledge to greet,
Minds intertwine
where thoughts persuade.

Why do I ponder
on others' paths?
When my own journey
needs my craft.
