Here I am again,

Trapped in time and space

Writing these letters

It’s like a race…

I’m out in front

Got a good start

Running full speed

Pumping my heart…

The challenge is beautiful

I feel the finish line

I think about everything

That’s already been done..

I keep running

To reach the finish line

And I keep thinking

I am running out of time..

I got in this race

To stretch my limbs

Too also nurture

All my whims,,

To feel the fire

A livid flame

To hear my mind

Repeat my name.

I’m running out of fuel

But refuse to quit

I am a fighter

I can lick this

This race doesn’t seem to end

I am still in the lead

I open up my heart

And drop my seed…

I’m under a spell

I feel so confident

I am doing well…

Now I push myself..

Coming around the final lap

I hear my feet on the ground

Up and down the slap…

And I give it my all

Not just some

Can you feel me

The race I’ve won?
