Finish Line
By: Brittany Eldridge
The finish line keeps getting longer
But my mind isn't getting any stronger
Winning a race I'll never win, trying to escape this illusion
Praying this isn't a delusion
Tripping over my own feet
Trapped in defeat
This heart of mine is drenched in pain
Thankful for the seconds of peace I gain
Slowly fading away while trying to stay
It's times like these I need more than to pray
Wake me from this nightmare of haunted dreams
This life isn't what it seems
A world full of the lost, mistreated, and the broken
Dear God, this world is hard
A day of peace on this Earth would be a token
I lay my head at night where most may not
But I can't sleep settled
The demons fester a lot
Perhaps I'll never win the race
The finish line might never appear
I just wish losing control wasn't the case
Dear God.....
