Run

I stumble,

I fall,

My hopes start to crumble

Because I can’t run at all.

*

Willing myself on,

Even when all hope is gone

I urge myself – run, run, run,

Finish it – and be done.

*

And I seem to leave the rest,

I think to myself – I’m the best.

The finish line is in sight

Everything seems as if it’s going to be alright.

*

I’m almost to the finish line

And just when I thought, everything was fine,

Just when I thought I could finish it – so I could be done,

Just when I thought, I could run,

But again I just fall

Not finishing anything – nothing at all…
