Run

zhangyuyouyu

Tired of the many things that keep running in my head

A broken recorder.

Exhausted of trying to run faster and faster to keep up with others

Just to be left behind and having to catch up

Need a break from racing against time everyday

 

Life - a never ending marathon.

Some has a faster start,

A different starting line giving them an advantage above the others

Pulling a big gap from birth

 

Some fall and get back up

Some fall and ended their race

That's their finishing line.

 

Can we force ourselves to wake up everyday?

Can we encourage ourselves to keep on running?

Can we convince ourselves that by reaching our finishing line we will be filled with pride?

 

Will anyone lend us a helping hand when we fall?

Will we motivate others to continue running?

Will we be able to run through the pain?

    Love the analogy, life is like a marathon. It's one great sprint that we have to push through. Great poem! 👍
