Race
You run yourself ragid
trying to mentally keep
up with others, or someone
you don't like.
Not a friend.
Not an enemy.
Something far worse;
a chaser.
So I run faster; out
of breathe quicker.
An excuse to make
that you are not in
a race at all.
To win them now.
Because you can't,
beaten down,
all those laps
did not nothing
to help you get
better.
Only paced yourself;
there are no trials,
they aren't following
your steps; they are
erasing potential ones
already land.
