We ran ahead, we fell behind
your feet were sore and so were mine
and still we walked on and on forever.
I think we're lost here,
I think we're becoming consumed by fear.
Will we be found at all?
Tell me, will we find ourselves?

This is a race that we can't win
so who knows why we chose to begin.
The answer is so far and yet so near
and the questions scratch and tear.
I think we're lost here,
I think we're becoming consumed by fear.
Will we be found at all?
Tell me, will we find ourselves?

Author notes

Yes, it is a tad random. Just came into my head whilst I was hanging around at uni. You may or may not notice that it sort of follows the rythmn of Hallelujah, which I was going through my head at the time.

Actually not sure if I like some of this. Think I'll have to re-write some of it.
HAVE NOW EDITED THIS.

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    I kinda like how it follows Hallelujah. I think it could do without some of the "here" 's, cause that part gets repetitive. Good start, though

    Reads a little like lyrics. I really liked the beginning:

    "We ran ahead, we fell behind
    your feet were sore and so were mine
    and still we walked on and on forever."

      Yeah, it does. I had a song in my head when I was writing it so the tune partially reflects though. Cool, glad you liked it. I think that's my favourite part too.

      Thanks for your feed back!
