Notes About The Poem

Biggest Race of Your Life

I was alone amongst millions, alone in the ocean,
In a swim with an ultimate gift.
I had to focus on the end, to give it all I had, 
So I could announce that I actually exist.

My peers started slowing, deciding to drown, 
There were deaths, by the millions, all around.
But I didn’t look back, kept focussed on the prize,
Ignoring the whole bloodied battleground.

Yes! I was first to the goal, 
But others soon reached the end too.
Then it occurred, the race just begun,
The winner was the first to break through.

So I directed my energy, all that I had,
Crazy in my head, I was wild.
And I pushed on to gold, to the egg of my life,
To become a beautiful child.
