I look to my left I look to my right but what i'm looking for is far out of sight. I see it! I see it! I see it! that's what I tell myself. I run and I run and I run til I run out of breath. I'm running behind the thing i'm chasing but I gotta stop and learn how to start pacing, before I fall and not be able to catch my breath. I keep running and tell myself its just a few more steps. Then I stop I feel myself giving up. NO! keep going, don't stop, you'll lose it all that's what I tell myself while trying not to fall. I feel it, there it goes, i'm running outta breathe. STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP I Scream.I look up to the sky and ask god to "help me please". Then he ever so softly whispers in my ear "It isn't easy chasing your dreams".
