Poetry

Race

I kept running trying to chase time
The faster I ran, the farther I felt
Trying to outrun the hardest hours
Hoping to catch the loudest laugh
Minutes of the nostalgic past
Happiness just a split second apart
I kept running trying to chase time
The farther I ran, the older I felt
Trying to relieve the glory days
Sacrifice is the debt that we pay
Trying to just survive each day
Yet again I finished second in the race
