Best Liferace Poems
The crumbs never led home.
There was no turning back,
no do-overs. The gunshot rang,
the race begun.
The race to tomorrow
where better would beget hope,
hope beget promise,
promise negate yesterdays.
Grass greener, longer, lush with
strands of dew strung
for the strung-out, like water
dropped from a hypodermic.
Wandering through wilderness
in seach of another song, a new tale
so that happily-ever-after
might sweep out all the pain.
But the detritus still blew
down the sidewalks,
down through a life spent wondering
what happened to the crumbs.
Life is race. The moment time was invented it became a race. Don't let anyone
tell you otherwise but it is race against nobody but you there is no way to win this race
but you can lose this race if you stand still
everywhere I look
it's sad to say
people race by
moving past time
looking for something
to quiet their hearts
eager to show me
all they have gained
holding out hope
against proven odds
to race yet again
and never say die
The struggle I go through you cannot see
But yet this is how we all chose to be
Watching, wating for what we cannot see
All we ever want is just one thing
But we focus so much unto the prize
We don't not enjoy the ride, our rise
We fail to see what beyond there lies
We wish to only get to that one place
Not enjoying the actual race
But in this race there is no first place
No one to say they came in first
But the one who enjoys this life, the race the most
Is the one who will have earned the right to boast.
