Accolades

striving, exerting, fine-tuning

ourselves everyday

just to hear that applause

that can fill up the void that we built for ourselves over the years,

for that moment when we would finally feel fulfilled

and be who we were always meant to be.

but once the accolades come to us

they are nothing but the past the next day-

intangible, immoveable.

and we are back to square one- yearning for it again.

we do have a choice.
