Chasing Shadows

I  chase 

            And chase 

                           And chase 

To the little hope that I have but why am I lying to myself?

Do even I still have hope? 

Here I chase something or someone I never had.

 

I am stuck in the same old patterns that does nothing for me,

That little hope that I may have had died. 

Always chasing to be number one but never number one.

    I have taken this path time and time again 

    But why does this time feel … 

    Longer and bitter. 

     

    For what it seems like I am stuck.
