The Unforgiving Race

The horse sped by, restlessly galloping The train disappeared in a blink The cars are obstinately racing For a moment, I forgot to think! The gushing wind is loud and unforgiving The ground under my feet is trembling. With an untamed and ambiguous force Everything is filled with speed and remorse. I halt to hear, listen through the wildeness Too slim, too fat, too small, too big Too lame, too cool, too dumb, too successful! Too many things, nothing but boredom Too many restrictions, too much freedom! Too little time, too much potential Too ugly, too pretty, too many credentials! Too mediocre, too ambitious Too naïve, too pretentious! Too early, too late Too bland, too great! Too timid, too strong Too right, too wrong! And I lost the count When I took another look around. The never-ending race goes on So does the constant competition. Only for a split second, I stopped running Everything managed to let me down, with the hint of a warning! This race to please the world is overstraining You're lost, you're nothing If you take breaks, you're not the chosen one The race is ongoing, only focus and RUN!
