Run

Run, run
As fast as you can,
You have goals to achieve,
An organized plan.

Run, run
As fast as you can,
You have to be first,
A genetic command.

Run, run
As fast as you can,
And never look back
For a single split second,
‘Cause you might see that something
Went horribly wrong,
This is not what you want
This is NOT what you want!

Run, run
As fast as you can,
So your thoughts won’t catch up
And ruin your plan.

slow down

I really love it
thanks for the rhyme
but I am really out of breadth LOL

hell hath no...

Wonderful to read and so wonderfully true.
For all it's worth...

Run to Achieve a Goal

loni,

So, as I understand it you are running to ensure the the goal you have set in place does not meet any interference from the imposition of new and possibly contrary thoughts. Does that pretty much sum up the theme of this piece or am I reading it all wrong?

First Time Reader,

Pete

that took a while to process...

i guess you are right- this piece is about running blindly toward some goal, not letting life have its full effect on you.
Thank you for posting such a thoughtful response!
