It’s hard sometimes
When the skies have darkened
To faded melancholy gray
From the constant questions
Driving this head into the ground.
For what have I given my all?
To what end could this dream
Utter even the smallest gasps for air?
Couldn’t breathe if I tried

Spent all this time
Running full speed
Towards the finish line,
Only it moves farther
As I move closer.
Is it reachable?
Is it all in my mind?

I’ve spent a life waiting
For the sky to break open,
Waiting for the words
My mother spoke to
Make everything alright,
But I thought it was alright,
I thought it was over.

It’s been hard
Listening to their words
Giving trust to their
Obvious intentions
And now it seems
I’ve been thinking
It’s all over,
Thinking it’s alright.
Tell me, is it over?
Tell me it’s over.
