100 Miles to Run

Running the Race of Life

 

I am at the start of the race

Now all I have to do is set my own pace

I want to make it to the end

Life is something I cannot suspend

As I am running, I have hurdles in my way

In the beginning, those hurdles are as soft as clay

As time goes on, life becomes hard

The faster I run, the more I become scarred

Everyone I know is cheering on the side

All the pain I feel is covered up by my pride

I don’t want them to see how scared I can be

The strength I have is what I want them to see

I want to keep running and I want to do it alone

I can’t believe my heart is turning into stone

I have barriers that I will not let anyone through

I did in the past and I was greatly hurt by those two

Those barriers are heavy but I am still in motion

Maybe I should take time and enjoy looking at the ocean

With all this work, I need time to just play

No matter what, on my path I am going to stay

I will continue to run this race and I will continue to grow

I have been doing so well, happiness is what I want to show

I still have a great deal of my heart that I need to heal

The pain from betrayal is what I don’t want to feel

This race is hard but I have also have had a lot of fun

I can’t give up, still have 100 miles to run
