Only Laborious Efforts Would Do

How can I get to the start?
It has now become so hard
The path that I have chosen is mine
Still one question: will I ever shine?

This arduous journey is not a cul-de-sac
Behind that wall there’s an incomprehensible catch
It is for me to unravel the mystery
To get rid of this uncalled-for misery

An abracadabra is now archaic
It is time to go for the academic
Nothing magical could get me through
Only laborious efforts would do

Don’t admonish me, I might get violent
Let my thoughts flow, they aren’t negligent
For you they might be pitiful and amoral
For me they are insanely ethical

Let’s not get to the start
Because it will be woefully hard
For nothing magical would get me through
Only laborious efforts would do
