Kaizen



As I write these lines
I look for myself in these lines.
Did I get lost trying to create these rhymes instead of speaking what I feel inside?
Every line I write is an adventure
as I look back in time to rewind.
My words flow fast
as my mind goes past.
Need to stay true to myself so
I can prove to my self I'm actually getting better.
Life’s a journey…
death’s the end of that journey.
A race against time to find myself.
Trying to do everything right
whilst the day is still bright ,before night when my demons come to bite.
Time is an illusion
I can’t figure out my conclusion.
Could be anytime, when it’s time
I’ll say goodbye.
