tired I am, but shall not slow down my pace,
life's not a race, but rather a deadly maze,
so I need to find a way out here,
or else, I will be trapped alive, I fear,
and I run, I run, I run mindlessly, and faster,
then forget everthing I was chasing after,
starts to lose all the sand in my hourglass,
oh, I wished today I am who I once was.
some wanted to be me for I was great,
I'm not even as good as other jacks of all trades,
never an ace, but always a mediocre one,
and they want something in me when I have none,
I can please all, but can't find joy in me,
not even in the mirror, I despise what I see,
and here my skies be covered in dark, heavy clouds,
each night, when all voices I hear get so loud.
how can a flight so high be forbidden,
a sin that forced my wings be broken,
now I have to run barefooted, and alone,
with bleeding back, weakened bones,
I only want stars to reach by my hands,
catch up with some promising friends,
if only I could make my best be enough,
if only I could simply be enough.
