Hello World! is all I need to do
Yet it’s difficult to fill in the shoe
The CPU is hot, the fan is loud
But I’m still stuck on feeling proud
For the few lines of code that I sowed
Yet a lot of work is still pending
But I’m busy pretending
That I’m working hard
Just staring at the to-do card
Without progress in the project yard
I’m physically fine, not feeling tired
But mentally, I’m just expired
Being unproductive might be my new hobby
Just so I can skip talking to my old lobby
Every week, I plan to do something new
But I just end up covering the week’s due
This attempt at poetry is just to vent
But I know it won’t make a dent
I’ll still be the same, stuck in the game
Hoping one day, I’ll be able to tame
The chase for productivity and fame
Printing Hello World! is all I claim
Yet there’s progress on my learning curve
First principles are what I observe
The pace is slow, but it calms my nerve
I trust I’ll get what I deserve
But for now, I’ll just preserve
The wisdom that was passed in reserve
I started with expectations high
Thinking fate was on my side
Walked around with my head held high
But got too cocky, too sly
This year got shot straight from the sky
Guess it’s time to comply
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best
That’s the lesson I’ll put to the test
For the time that’s left to invest
I think I’ve covered the last few days
Hope I can finally escape this maze
I miss my allies from old ways
But I’m stuck deep in this phase
Still, I’ll find new paths to chase
To grow, to thrive, and savor this phase
