Rough Start, End Smart

Always at war, fighting battles I know I'd never win
But something keeps me pushing and fighting 'til the end.
The clock continues to race, but I move at a steady pace
No missing out on obstacles I should probably face.
My head nods as my body shakes
Will not say no until I've taken all I can take.
Pressing on fearless and strong
Not even knowing if it's where I belong.
The intricate journey to an anonymous place
Hoping in the end, it doesn't lead to fate..

Time never runs out, but a clock won't tick for a life time.
My heartbeat is my clock, and I realize my life is on the line.
I take my steady pace and begin to race
Not knowing what I've begun to chase.
But the battles are easier to fight, the burdens feel light
So whatever I'm chasing must be all right...
