I’m running through the darkness
Heavy footprints on the ground
The silent air surrounds me
Shadows falling all around

I keep running through this darkness
Can’t seem to find my way
But I will get on the right track
To everyone’s dismay.

But, alas, I fall so quickly
Face pressed into the dirt
Now I lay here wondering
Is life worth all this hurt?

I continue thinking
As I lay hear on my back.
The pain and shame of yester-years
And all that my life just seems to lack

The words that have been said
All the things that I have tried
And how could we forget
Just how may tears I’ve cried

Everything is lost
There’s nothing left to gain
My soul is vast and empty
While my heart is filled with pain

I lift my head up slowly
Tears running down my face
Revealing my self to the world
And others in this race

For yes life is a race
You may win, or you may lose
It is a choice
That is completely up to you

If you win you are blessed
With everything you need
Your dreams become realities
And if life you will succeed


But if you lose, you slip
Deep down into depression
Your life will slowly fall apart
And you’ll challenge all with much aggression

I want to get up
And forget about my past
But this world is way too harsh
I don’t think that I could last

So I lay her stiffly
And I take in my last breath
My heart shouts with joy
As I slip into my death
