Chasing Life

You will know what i mean
If you look into my eyes

Bloodshot? Yes they are,
from the pain that you have caused.

Waiting. Contemplating.
My life is slipping away.
I cannot hold my grip.
You are running away.

I try to catch up
You are running too fast.
Wait! Life.
I am out of breath
I have to stop.

Why are you doing this to me?
Why do you want to leave me back?
Am i no good, am i not apt?

I will run again i promise.
I will build up my strength.
I will gather up my courage
I will push my boundaries.
Until the very end.

Forgive me if i outrun you.
Forgive me if you fail.
Before you realize it,
i will beat you at your own game.
