im scratching and clawing
on a path that might not end
weary from the journey,
trying to ascend,
trials behind and before me,
what doesnt break will surely bend,
faking that im worthy,
failing to pretend,
dreams are getting smaller
harder to defend,
road is getting longer,
sores on my feet just wont mend,
the harder i try,
the more it hurts when i fall,
theres no need to cry,
since it seems to offend,
given all i got,
though i say i have more,
this pain hurts a lot,
impossible to ignore
