Running in the Dark

Running in the Dark

an empty feeling, rising slowly from the bowels of the deep, as it creeps and crawls it's way to the mind, life is a race, a race run every single day, from the time i wake up to the time i merge with the darkness;

i have been searching all along, for a way to win this race, every time it's just a little bit close, but always out of reach;
they say i am not doing enough, they say i am not hustling hard enough, they say i should retreat, but who are they to say?
i am dancing with the demons, as the storm gathers strength inside, and when the lights go down, it's a war inside the head;
i am staring at the far away lights, for answers that have eluded me so far; i keep running like there is no tomorrow, i hustle and bustle my way through life;
as i look at the stars above, i prepare to get ready, for another day, for another marathon, running in the dark;
