The Race

The race
that can’t be won
that makes us angry and bewildered
that has us begging for mercy
is really a fable gone awry

The rules of the race
were not made up by me

The race
has us spinning our wheels
and dreaming of winning
and dreaming of running away

This race is not my idea of the good life

The finish line is just around the corner
but then another one appears just as you are crossing it
and it goes on infinitely
like the nightmare where you’re running down a hallway that never ends

To be the fastest racer
the star of the show
makes for a cold climate

Chill out,
It's only a game
