Determination

As I stretch my hand

My blades hurt 

I scamper to a rescue 

but my veins thrust

I pull whats all within

and let out one last cry

with sweat in my eyes

and blood in breath

I yearn to instigate everything

that has not turned death

The silence tickles

as if insane

The time trickles 

as if it would never wane

But there I see the hourglass

Losing all the sand

There I see my life 

losing all that could be grand

I had promised myself 

that I would hold that time

I had promised myself 

that I would fight this time

So,one last time

I stretch my hand

My blades hurt 

And ah,

I hold the time.
