Her heart beats faster
She's running farther.
Why can't she see the finish line?
She will keep running,
hiding all her problems from the world.
But too soon she will realize,
the world is her problem.
Pride will keep her going,
she won't accept a helping hand.
Soon she's gonna fall,
and her time will end.
She wants to take on the world
But she feels alone
everyone testing her
telling her she can't make it
But pride will keep her going.
Author notes
"You’d break your neck to keep your chin up."
That was the quote I chose. Umm, I'm not really sure WHY I wrote this poem like this, but it's a small reflection of my feelings. Anyhow, the quote reminded me of someone who would try their hardest to keep going, even when the going got tough.

Hey this is sweet. Great quote to choose, I can see the way you've interpreted it, different to what I'd have said, but that's probably a good thing.

Thanks. I think I've just been having so many conflicts recently, that it's the way i feel. xP The title still throws me off though. Makes no sense to me. xS
