knees on the ground
hands on my head
"admit defeat!" they shouted,
with terror in their voice.

it's time,
time for me to face the music.

i can't keep going on like this,
lying to myself,
telling myself it's no big deal.

i know my time is running out
and when it does;
they'll be no hope left
for me to hold on to.
