Run The Race Poem by PHUMLA KHANYILE

They seem to float while you standing still
They're at peace yet chaos brews within
You wonder why you many miles behind

It is a feeling that weighs you down
To watch as time take flight at such a pace
Yet for you so much is still at stake

You're on a race against the world
Along runners with tricks to track
They seem to fly above all counted steps

You must run though heavy are your feet
It matters not how long miles it takes
Yours is to run until you reach the end

Run a race to defeat yourself
Against all odds, be it doubt, be it fears
You got to run beyond the winning line

Run the race at your own pace
Dare not give in to any form of defeat
Don't stop until you gain your victory
