Chase

Time passing is like being chased...

Running oh so fast
How long must this chase last?
Don’t turn around, don’t look back at all
For once you lose your focus, you’ll surely fall

Pushing forward with all you’ve got
Where you’re going, an afterthought
Feel your heart pounding like a drum
Making your shallow breath sound like a faint hum

Hear those palpitations in your ears
Your mind going through all your fears
Fighting doesn’t seem worth it anymore
But a will to live comes from deep within your core

The beast is gaining
Hearing its growl nearing
A roar of triumph rings for miles around
But you still will not back down

Out of nowhere more beasts come
While wondering where they came from
They surround you, circling their prey
You know you will never get away

They pounce and you wail
Struggling rendered pointless, you will only fail
God can’t save, though you may pray
In the end, all you really were was decay
