Shoestring Stress

Lifting up my eyes, Gazing to the hills, Looking for a distant light, the ending of this painful night, Won't Shake! Give into fear, Disregarding racing thoughts, Wanting to abandon this path but it's too late to go home, So I stay right here, Blinders on to what's around, Focused on the future glory, that lies before me, Resisting traveled paths, Traveled paths bring no glory Seems like the treasure's all been found I feel so lost now I've been sent to the unknown, No map no compass Drowning now with hints of doubt, Losing once held confidence Not asking for the end, Just supply to carry on, With greater, with greater strength than this, Hanging on to every word, Wondering if I'll last, Remembering how bold I felt at the front of this task All I hear now, The echoes of my hopeful story Phrases filled with praise and hate filled words recurring Turning deafened ears, Hoping for an ounce of peace Longing for that distant hope, a place to call my own, Resisting traveled paths, Traveled paths bring no glory Seems like the treasure's all been found I feel so lost now, I've been sent to the unknown, No map no compass Drowning now with hints of doubt, Losing once held confidence Not asking for the end, Just supply to carry on, With greater, with greater strength than this! I've been sent to the unknown, No map no compass Drowning now no time for doubts, Clinging to my confidence Do or die I know, I'll have supply to carry on, and finish, And finish what I've started!
