There will come a time in my life.
When all of my problems and strife.
Will come to a close, to an end.
I'll no longer have to pretend.
I'm tired of walking uphill .
Dreams that I will never fulfill.
Questions that don't have an answer.
Blacken my soul like a cancer.
I try to figure this all out.
Sometimes it makes me want to shout.
I walk two steps ,fall three behind.
I feel like I am walking blind.
Would someone please lend me a hand.
Help me so I can make a stand.
This road that I walk is too long.
It turns out that I'm not that strong.
There's somethings that I can't explain.
I try to smile through the pain.
Live each day like it is my last.
Go beyond this road that's my past.

Overally very enjoyable and a nice rhythm, but many of the rhymes seemed overused. I think you could have gotten a little more creative with it. But it is pretty good, just a little simple. Thanks for entering.
