End

The word filled with power,

I found when I was twelve,

I knew not what it meant,

only of it\'s sound.

 

It\'s sound too tempting,

I was hooked to a siren song.

It promised what I wanted,

and dragged me far along.

 

I learned what it looked like,

when I was sixteen.

It was no longer a siren.

  I now followed freely.

 

I looked for it in every ocean,

and in every tree.

I searched, and almost found it,

when I was almost eighteen.

 

I search but it evades me,

draws further from sight.

Sometimes I catch up and see it,

only to run and hide.

 

It\'s in my tomorrows,

my dreams, and future plans.

I still look for it, even in twentys.

Even now, it\'s still here.

 

The need to chase it,

it\'s been here for so long.

I can\'t believe,

and it hurts to think,

that the End, the promised land I\'ve looked for,

is what I\'ve been chasing all along.
