A Race I Do Not Understand

A Race I Do Not Understand

And each step was laborious

My feet felt heavy as lead

My heart, like it would stop.

There were no cheers from the sidelines.

The world, it appeared, had turned away from me

On this race I did not understand.

But move I must,

Slowly, painfully,

Inch by inch,

Mile by mile.

Until, 

I espied the finish line

Within my grasp.
