We're all trying to win the same race

Never slowing down

All keeping the same pace

Attempting not to drown

As we paddle each stroke

As we run each stretch

Ignoring the fact that we're broke

Searching for something too far fetched

Taking what isn't ours with greed

Wishing for sunshine during the cold of night

Turning a blind eye to those in need

Afraid to climb just because of the height

What have we become?

Needing to keep a streak

Bargaining for likes on a post

Life is way more bleak

Than what we claim and boast

Yearning for a ding

A notification of some kind

Something to keep us comparing

Taking over and consuming our mind

More, more, more

We can never get enough

What do we need all of this stuff for

Judging wanting to "live it up"

What have we become?
