Carrying On

Wrote it like 10 minutes ago, since the first line came to my mind, and kept coming as I wrote it....

I know I've been overplaying,
a song that will never end.
I keep wanting just to dea with,
the fears that i constantly hide. (side note: need last line changed)

Yet, when I stare them in the face,
I hold out for another chance.
Another hope for another dance,
with flickering smiles and shifty eyes.


[Chorus]
But I know my chances keep disappearing,
Then another night comes of just more treason,
'Cause I know I keep failing myself,
As I'm barely hanging on.

And my fingers they are slipping,
as the rocks they hold are crumbling,
and I don't know (no, I don't know)
If anyone will be there to catch my fall...


There's one, two, three fingers left,
And they're decreasing every single sec.
Losing every need to hold my grasp,
I know there's got to be something. (Got to be something for me)

As I look onto the bright side,
I watch my life as it passes by.
I know the end is coming near,
as the things i remember are just so clear.

[Chorus repeated]

If there is, anyone,
who is willing to keep me going strong.
Anything for you to give,
so that I can keep on loving it.

Loving it,
Loving you,
Loving Life to name a few. (long few)

And although my chances are disappearing,
and there's another night of just more treason,
I'm going to stop failing myself,
And keep on hanging on.

And my fingers they are slipping,
as the rocks they hold are crumbling,
but I do know (yes I do know)
That there's one who's always there....

to catch my fall...

I like this, and you capture your emotions very well. There is a good beat and your choice of words helps to strengthen the poem. Good job! Keep hanging on, I know you can get through!
