The price of excellence

I have always assumed that doing good and being good will help you at the very least have an easier life. Turn's out it wasn't. After promotions and praises all I really ever got was anxiety. Hoping I do great and perform better but it feels like an endless cage. I know that there is this thing where I'm supposed to be grateful. That where I am now is something people dream about, that I wished and hoped and clawed my way to stand where I am standing but lately I'm wishing I have the strength to walk away from everything. I miss peaceful days and calm nights. I miss a light heart and a worry-free mind. I wonder now if I can turn back time will I try my best to make things right, not do any of the mistakes that I did or I wonder if I just forget it ever happened and live a peaceful life
