Smile and realize

On my way to the top

Randomly, I keep falling here and there

Hope and faith are the fuel

My mind is the tank

But lately I've been asking

Why is it never always full like the others?

Why is it that it fills up just a little

And is empty in the blink of an eye?

Then I just look back at the days

When I thought there will never be a way

And I look at myself and say

''Hey you stupid emo f**k!

You've found your way to today.''

And I can't help but smile and realize

I think I'm like a drag racer

And life's a series of drag races

Some people may live on different formats

But this is just how I like it for myself.

One at a time, each race, blasting at blistering speed

Aiming to win, and winning with jaw-dropping elegance

I make things looks easy

Then it ends swiftly and I slow down and everything halts.

And until the calendar says it's time for the next one

I have nothing to do

So I sit and ponder, wander and wonder

One second, happy, the next, sad

And until I plant my wheels on the track again

Stand at the starting line determined to reach the finish

Until I remember my aims and motives

I won't be myself, nor feel like him.

You know how there are these days when we're so busy with stuff and seems like they pass in a flash? Well, I miss classes and stuff, miss being busy and on track. And when we're not busy, we're lost. Feel free to share your thoughts on this. :)

Let's get the fun stuff out of the way...editing...we all love so much in writing...

I see this verse talks about being in the moment...you use drag racer as the motivation in the lines...and how that reflects the mood and change of who you are in the lines...and when that's not around the cycle starts to drag you down...until the moment when you get to be the star again...
