Is it time to be
On red alert
When you've lost yourself
And you don't know
Who is living inside
Your soul?
Do you feel cold
And lost in desperation?
You build up hope,
But failures all you've known.
Remember all
The sadness and frustration,
And let it go,
Let it go.
Iridescent by Linkin Park.

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.
"My life is an uphill journey. Everyone is only concerned about how fast or how high I can go. Does anyone care if I’m tired?" -The Dream Makers
Liars and thieves full of selfish greed
found the need to butcher and feed
on every inch of my integrity
So I repay the fee with eloquent misery
and conjure poetry calibrated for the annihilation
of my enemy
Yet in the end, the truth be told,
the greatest enemy is me.
