In the dark, I'm running,
Fumbling with the unsure footing.
Streetlights silently cast around,
Feet keep falling without a sound.

Mind is racing, contemplating,
Paths keep rising - I should be trying.
Upward, climbing, swiftly we race;
A mind with a body it's trying to chase

Peaking, failing, we're still rising.
The mind, slowly its slipping.
The body, pushing with unreal might
Accepts the arduous, defeating fight.

Its starting, the distance is daunting
Reason is leaving, can't see the falling
Why can't truth arise from dream?
Hope and love burst every seam

Its all too much, pain is leaking,
Spreading, slowly seeping.
An end I reach, so close was I
To pushing through, my soul to fly.

Alone I stand, my whole reforming,
A body wiser - a mind undying.
Out again I'll run this day,
Streetlights silently showing my way.

Doubting, falling, trying, crying,
Wanting, wishing, knowing, flying.
Ignorant to all, I strive to see
The person I wish most fervently to be.
