Casualty

No one knows this world that I live in
It’s like an Olympic race that never ends
you run as hard and fast as you can, but without a finish line
how do you keep going? how do you suppose YOU WILL win?
In my life I HAVE seen better and I have seen worst
At times I’ve felted blessed, sometimes I’ve felt cursed
I have been told “things will change It’s just not your time”
But those words hold no content, in my frame of mind
I had hope so I PRAYED, I begged and I cried
now I’ve exhausted all possibilities and I’m tired
I don’t know what to DO, NOT now, not anymore
so I wander AIMLESSLY, looking for a way out, a door
some SAY, THAT I’M just going thru a season
I say, my life is pure madness without a reason
No one knows this world that I live IN, I’m lost at sea
Floating in the middle of nowhere, AN INEVITABLE casualty
