Still Chasing the Crown

I keep starting just to fade. Every fire turns to pain.

I chase dreams but lose the shame. Still I won't stay in that

place. Every road I leave half-done. My own stop I always run.

Every loss I wear at night. But my heart still says, "Don't run."

I may be a loser. I may be lost. I paid for

the dreams that never took off. Fall after fall, I'm still here breathing,

still believe in what I haven't seen yet. I break,

but I don't stay down. I burn, but I don't burn out.
