The teenage RaceA Poem by Beth LindsayWhen you become a teenage you will have people come and go in your life. This is also one part of being a teenager that transition into your adulthood.You promised, to be
by my side Till the end of the
race As if our legs were
tied Together, keeping the
same pace We started off okay Running down that
road of dust By my side you stayed Until others began to
pass us Leaving me behind You got ahead of the
race I tried to keep up but only to find Me landing on my face I wasn’t fast enough To join the rest This race was too
tough, A painful loyalty
test You, being you Easily found a place Keeping their pace Unaware about your
shoe lace I saw from behind As you tripped and
fell They all acted blind, Leaving you, as if
they couldn’t tell I ask you this, old
friend Where was that hand That hand you said
you’d lend When my face met the
land Regardless to your
betrayal I stopped in my tracks I won’t let you fail Regardless the
loyalty you lack Because that is what
good friends do They see each other
through Till Death do us part We run only to the
beat of our heart © 2012 Beth LindsayAuthor's Note
