Burned Out Matches

Burned Out Matches Here I am Trudging up a mountain Littered with burned out matches, Holding my hand high enough to keep the light on me But out of the darkness Words of determination run through my mind Like a song you just can't get out of your head. You can do it You are strong You will be okay Here I am Walking up a hill Sprinkled with more Burned Out Matches I hold mine a little lower because frankly, I’m getting tired My knees feel like jelly, but I keep on going You can do it You are strong It will be okay Here I am Crossing a bridge Covered in even more Burned Out Matches I hold mine by my side, not even trying to keep it out of the dark Because, why bother? I drag my feet along slowly But I am still going Maybe it’s meant to burn out I am weak I will never be okay… Here I am Blinded by perpetual darkness By bosy is no longer warmed by the light Because I am no longer carrying it I never even crossed that bridge Seeing, as in time… I burned out
