*_What does life want?_* By Muhammad Adam Apalando (Confidence) Every day, we whisper bitterly; Sometimes, confusion and giving up,  No clear route, no option—always stuck,  Here comes life—no guidance, no mentorship,  Sponsorship and opportunity doors are locked,  Access denied despite hard knocks,  What does life want?  Hope is what teachers taught,  Endurance is what parents nurtured,  Patience is what life teaches,  Here we are with no signs!  And hope, endurance, and Patience, Are fading,  Is death near, or do I give up?  Because a nobody has no mark to leave,  What a cheat!  — *_Confidence_*
