I'm running in a marathon
A race against the ticking time,
Myself
Against the world.

I don't know
Where it'll take me to
I'm not allowed to break away
I'm not allowed to stop.

I'm tired of running
I'm tired of climbing
I can't go far
And I can't go high.

I don't know
How much more to go
Till I end
This whole long race.

All I know
It might take forever
This race might
Never end.

Today I read the news
That someone I never knew
Took her life
Left behind
This life
That I've railed against so many times
It made me stop
Made me think
As bad as I sometimes hurt
Maybe I don't know what pain
Really means
Because though the thought
Has crossed my mind
So many -uncounted- times
I don't believe I'll ever truly cross that line
In the face
Of this immeasurable loss
I think it's time I try a little harder
To put down my cross
Bury Demons from my past
Try for the best in this life at last
And though it may not matter much at all
Written words from someone you'll never know
I hope you've found peace at last
And maybe find a little peace
In knowing
You've made me try a little harder
To turn over that new leaf

Hello my Demons,
It's been a while,
Or so I believed.

                             Here's the truth:
                             You've been here all along,
                             Just a different guise.  

I really wish you'd leave;
I'm pretty tired of you,
And I'm tired of the me
That exists when you are
Around.
                            
                                I'm really hoping this
                                Is the final time I reference you,
                               Because I've got better places
                               To be than
                               In your clutches.

Spread the love
Spread the care
To here
And there
And everywhere

Spread it thick
Spread it far
Spread it generously
Cover every inch
Everybody

Spread it generously
Spread it well
Spread it till
There’s nothing
Left
