A Gradual Slow After a Sudden Stop

Cold turkey I bounce off the wall before I step through Seep through brick A sudden stop is shocking And a sudden stop is harsh The first day is the hardest It goes on forever The second day is the hardest It goes on for ever Slowly I am wont to slip And the itching never stops Slowly moving through this wall I’ve hit Until I reach the other end So I can leave my stripes behind And run But no matter what, I can’t outrun myself The third day is the hardest And the stripes are always there But once I get past the gradual slow After the sudden stop I’ll go faster than before And maybe I’ll catch up to you
