-THE RACE-
(of life & love)


As life flashes before my eyes,
I reflect upon life with mild surprise.
To think of all that could have been,
And everything I haven't seen.

Of wild lies and sorry thoughts,
Nothing more.  I'm left distraught.
A troubled soul, a heavy heart,
I was left behind from the start.

My race is run, and I came last,
I guess I didn't run too fast.
Think of all the wasted days,
That have now all but gone away.

What's the point when no-one cares?
I might look brave but I'm really scared.
Isn't life supposed to be fun?
No like looking at a loaded gun.

Then she came along you see,
And life now makes some sense to me.
I can see the runners up ahead,
And slow but sure, I'll catch them yet...

It doesn't really metter if you catch up as long as you stay in the race and finish

So long lives this, and this give life to thee."  W.S.

I liked the positive ending. It really shows  me that you don't plan on giving up. I wish you luck.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
