My Runner
Yes, I know you are a Runner
But once you become a runner up,
No one values you and your values,
But it’s not something that you wanted for yourself either,
Then why bother.
Yes, I know it’s not easy
To keep your eyes and ears closed,
And keep your heart and mind focused,
And yet run, My runner.
You remember when you were taught running,
You were taught only how to run and not how to win,
Then why has your focus changed in this particular run now!
For all you know, you are running now,
Yet a long way to go,
So don’t let your eyes to close,
Your hope to low, and
Your focus to dilute.
Yes, I know there are many ahead of you
But be happy that you too are in the race,
Although not with their pace,
Still, when you complete this race
Very much like others you have completely ran it through,
Although, a little late.
You might not get the attention of the crowd,
But you know, the crowd will cheer for anybody who tops the list.
They are not the judges, who grade you
It’s just the sound or noise that roars around the winner today and
will die down tomorrow.
But it’s you who needs to grade and cheer yourself.
Yes, I know you can do this
May be you are not running ahead of the remaining,
But that does not mean you have not covered the distance behind you,
So cheer up for what you have behind you and keep moving forward,
Keep up the pace and don’t slow down,
Time will change.
Yes, I know you will do it J
