The Race

One step at at time,
But the walk is slow,
Where is the finish line?
You don't seem to know.

Mountain after mountain,
Hill after hill,
Where is a water fountain?
For a drink, you'd kill.

Empty stares,
Fake cheers,
The sun blares,
And your eyes full with tears.

The finish line is in sight,
You got to run your last mile,
Though you try with all your might,
You can't seem to smile.

The ending is near,
But your heart skips a beat,
You were lost this year,
Died from the heat.

The last steps remain,
Solely a memory,
And you will always refrain,
In deep pain and agony.

It was the one that got away,
What got the best of you,
And there's no other day,
Nothing else you can do.

I love and believe in you.
Stay strong. <3
