Heat 

Sweat 

Drops of water running down 

From your head to toes 

Your legs have a mind of their own now 

Youre running as fast and as hard as you can 

You look back to see how far youve gone 

To see how far your past is 

To see if it's a good enough distance 

Then everything comes to stop

You either realize your past has caught up to you or 

You've lost all sight of it and your end game is unknown 

 

No matter how far you run 

One memory 

One word 

One look 

One touch 

One person

It can change everything 

Pull you back 

Make you run the wrong way 

It brings you zero peace and more confusion 

The way you were going 

It was for you 

The path was made for you to take 

Then it pulls you back to the beginning 

Only leading you to another line 

Zero closure

And more steps to recover 

You went the wrong way 

Distracted, hurt, lost 

And only carrying the desire to finish what you started 

Youre tired, frustrated 

And your legs are in pain 

Then you lose your passion to finish it 

Losing hope for closure 

And the race is over 

You're dead last 

And you never had the chance to finish the race 

On the path you were meant to be on
