Race Against Death

Sitting,staring at my blank wall nothing there just the stained paint that should be stripped 
away like the burdens I am bearing.
Why carry all this extra weight it like running a race in concrete not moving forward fast 
enough.
Why cant I shed this weight, this pain
Is life full of lessons that we repeat until we learn from them or does someone have a sick 
sick sense of humor.
Does it matter if your the one going through life with the burdens you have put one yourself.
You really cares its your life do what you want let go of the past or carry  it the rest of your 
life and 
start your slow death.
Now there is hope you realize love and it gives you strength now you moving..shed the pain, 
where are you going. Does it matter as long as you have life and love. For death follows us 
all but it's the ones that quit that death catches up to.

The trick is learning how to turn ones burdens into foundations on which to stand and gain strength... and don't be distracted by death; life requires our full attention to extract and exact all that it has to offer. Love the poem... it from the heart and full passion. Thank you for the read. ~<><
