Rat Race

Get out of the race, you can’t control the pace. You’re trying too hard to finish first in a competition that has no composition. Forget what has been programmed to stay, it is no longer the day. Feel relief as you let go and pull back, move away from the attack. Smile and watch what happens to your mind; now leave the baggage behind, for there is no change in time. Don’t give in to temptation, it is only manipulation. They play for the other team, so stick to your dream. The weight you put around your neck reject, stand tall above all. We only need to fit in from within. Look for good news and waste no time to bad. Don’t be mad; don’t be sad, just be glad you can’t be had.
