Life Is a Run
Life is a run, through the mountains that curve and elevate
Pace and stamina are key, though you can go however you satisfy
On every turn, something new appears that you have to face
Whether it’s a small weed or a large bush,
You can’t go around it
You must face it, and suffer the consequences
Go through it, and get scratches across your knees
Every mistake makes you stronger
It’s what we live for, we do have to slow down at times
You just have to keep running till it’s time to walk
Keep pushing forward, until its time to pull back
Although know that you will always start up again
Along the way, we do indeed have to face obstacles that might make us fall
Nevertheless, keep in mind that once you fall
You will always get back up, and continue running
Eventually you will have to take a different path
You can make it your own, and follow what you truly believe
Don’t go a way someone else wants you to
It is without a doubt your life, and you can go whichever way you please
So take the initiative, and run, walk, jog, sprint, or skip the way you feel you should
And face the challenges, because life is a run, and it’s our job to run it well
