CONTEMPLATING

I'm standing 
In a line
Patiently waiting 
For my turn or time
Standing in the lane of success.

I keep wondering 
So many had made it
Why is mine staying longer 
Sometimes I admit 
Maybe mine is bigger 
Or it will never come to my time or turn.

I keep racing for it
So many times 
I work and prayed 
But still a delay 
Then I try to replay 
Just to see if I'm not doing enough.
