《Time And Thoughts》Beginning (And the End)

Advertisement

Bang!

There goes the sound to start,

And here I was unready and unsure,

For I had never been given a trainer,

Nor have I ever ran this far, for this long,

But, off I went,

Others around me running as though their lives depended on it.

One step after the other ,

I moved quickly,

But not fast enough it seemed,

Because in this race there was no time for slowing down,

And no time for messing up.

The scenery passed me in a blur.

I was allowed no time to focus on it.

In time I couldn't see where I began,

And I didn't even know where I'd end,

Or if I ever would.

My feet slammed against the unwalked path I ran.

My heart raced alongside me.

My brain longed for a break,

A period in which it had time to decide my next move.

Just as I was about to take the much needed breather,

The crowd booed.

They'd come to watch a race,

While it seemed to them that all I did was walk.

They hadn't been there at the starting line,

But they wanted to force me to their finish and my end.

And now I see the ending point,

The ribbon that had already been split in two appeared in the horizon.

The crowd had already left to celebrate the winner.

But what I had failed to see right in front of me was another bump in the road,

And because of it I tripped and tumbled over and over.

Now on the floor.

I looked up to see everyone moving at the same pace as before,

And the finish line being just as far.

Maybe to others it was a beautiful sight,

Seeing as they'd seemed to run swiftly ahead,

But to me,

From my lane,

I saw a gun aimed to the air,

And I knew it was just the beginning again,

But still I crawled until I'd made it over that line,

And then.

Bang!

There goes the sound to start.
