Competition

A poem written on life, where the slow and steady wins the race

Queasiness being the key of the day

Ran around to find peace somewhere

A profound nap was the desire of the heart

Number of laps yet to pass, impeded the wish

Numerous laps that cover regular intervals

I wished someone to take over the next lap

But there was none in that end, made me run

Hurrying to the ultimate end, I saw me being lone

Am I alone here as all others are still behind?

Or am I alone here as all others have passed me?
While looking behind to see whether somebody follow

Heard a loud scream of joy from the ultimate end

Someone unknown made it to reach the goal

Wanting to see the winner, I hurried again

There are several long laps yet to be passed

Being eaten by the cruel and ugly desolation, 
I want to escape from this race of rivalry

Yet, I didn't give up and ran steadily to the end

Reaching at the end was like a dream come true

It seemed the entire world was waiting for me

With great joy, I was recognized with a big award

Though in muddiness, I could realize the truth

The competition demanded the last one to win

This poem rings so true to me. Sometimes I find myself wanting to rush something, more out of excitement. Then I have to wait,and remind myself that patience, is virtue, and good things really do come to those who wait. I remember situations in the past where I was rushing to do something just to get the result, only for it to backfire in my face. Now, that I'm older, I'm not in a rush because I know if it is meant for me, it is going to happen, but in the right time. And I find that I enjoy and appreciate it that much more.
