Grind

Facing the daily grind 
I find myself further behind.
Of the future I'm blind
Can't see where I'm going
My age I'm showing
Two steps forward only moves me two back
Time is on the attack 
Trying to find 
Peace of mind
Can't live life in rewind
If you want to move ahead
Hold close, the love your fed
Time passing by
Tears that you cry
Leaving behind yesterday
For that's my only way
That's how you find tomorrow. 
Don't get lost in  the sorrow 
May seem hard
All the times your heart was jarred 
Hold to your dreams
Not as hard as it seems
To move forward
Ever toward
A distant day
The price you pay
To find your way
