The Strive

"The Strive" is a deeply introspective journey through the pursuit of perfection and the yearning that follows. In a world where desires collide with the limitations of the self, the poem explores the cyclical nature of longing, the elusiveness of dreams, and the unspoken ache of striving for an ideal that forever slips through our fingers. With a reflective tone and rich imagery, this piece challenges the notion of completeness, pushing the boundaries of human desires and asking: what are we really chasing when we reach for the stars?
