Lyrics:

Why are we always chasing?
What is it we're trying to find?
Every breath spent climbing
But no peace in mind

I see them run through morning haze
Eyes locked on some future place
Trading sleep for silver chains
Building dreams that leave no trace

They sacrifice rest to search for rest
Hearts on fire, never catching breath
Peace ain't found in the blur and the blur
Only comes when we let go first

We chase a prize that no one holds
Wear our pain like silent gold
Who won this race? I’ve never known
All I see is breaking bones

Stop.
Feel the wind when you stand still
Listen close, hear what is real
No finish line, no crown, no king
Only silence gives us wings

They sacrifice rest to search for rest
Hearts on fire, never catching breath
Peace ain't found in the blur and the blur
Only comes when we let go first

I stopped running
And I saw the sky
Stillness held me
And I asked why

Spoken word poem about burnout
Poetry on chasing peace and modern life
