This Isn't A Race

Contributed by Twitch06 on Tuesday, 16th November 2004 @ 08:49:33 PM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry



My life is running slow.

I wish it would just go alittle faster.

I just what to get to the other side of the barrier.

Its not a race Im running, I just want to jump

The hurtles that are in my way of running faster

In life. I dont want to be bothered with people,

Because that will slow me down even more.

I dont want to look back, because I know that

Ill trip over something and make me fall and

Being in the back of the line again.

I will have no regrets of anything and keep going

With this race and knowing that I wont lose.

Knowing that I will win makes me run faster

And thats just what I want.

But as I run faster, everything becomes a blur.

As I think to myself while Im running,

That maybe going fast isnt what I really want.

While slowing down, I can start making

Things out more clearly, seeing what the

World has in store for me.

I am now able to hear the whispers,

Instead of the wind blowing in my ears.
