The Race
The Race
I've done it!
I've finally passed the finish line.
All that effort, I've drained it all.
Months of preparation and practice.
I face my family, my friends.
I ask.
'How was I, did I do well?'
I'm ecstatic, I can't control it.
The excitement hovers.
It hovers.
Only brief moment.
Then the dreaded stern face stares once more.
I look back for the tenth time.
I am at the start again.
The finish line is much further this time.
The never-ending race I'm forced into.
No time to rest.
I must run on.
I don't want to be left behind.
Not again.
But the main thing I think of is,
Can this end?
