Still Running.

Running out of time,

Can't catch my breath

Watching the hands on the clock

(Tick tock)- when can I rest?

Pressure building in my bones

I try to cheat so I slow down

Thanking God this isn't the ocean-

Because I sure enough would drown.

You run to achieve and conquer-

I run to persevere.

Who knew I would feel this helpless

My body's run down after all these years.

I hate when I can't keep up

So I push my body until I crash

I hate that you don't notice

I hate when good goes bad.

Still running, still in the game-

The audacity to think I'd lose

He's absorbed in my pores as my sweat drips down,

Wiping my brow is something I choose not to do.

I realize I'm running alone

& he's reached the finish line

The audacity of HIM to think I'd lose

I just ask for your help next time.

Still Running...
