Life's a Race.

Poem.

Life is a race.

We're all staying on track.

We all have our pace.

Some runners lack.

In this race you must push.

You must show your power.

People could be ambushed. 

So make use of every hour. 

Your life is powerful.

It has meaning, I know.

We all need to live beautiful.

Or else hatred can grow.

Life keeps going whether you want it or not.

Don't be pushed out of the race.

Don't live like the other robots.

Don't be another disgrace. 

Show yourself that you can be first.

You can be the winner if you try.

All you need is the thirst,

and to look towards the sky.

I love this poem. I love how you show life being a race and saying that if you have the drive to do well then you can. This is really a great poem! The rhyming is great! Good job!

Not the signature Sydney Evans I'd say , but this is a different and a very very nice and relevant write , I like it ... a 100 from me specially for the topic chosen ... and now again my rhyming OCD is compelling me to make a few suggestions :

for the 3rd line of the 2nd stanza :
every turn might lie an ambush

for the 3rd line of the 4th stanza :
Don't live like a robot

[Sydney Evans]

the fourth stanza is blah. :|

It's hopeful, as opposed to many other poems on this site that, in my opinion, radiates awesomeness, but I like it because of the way you portray it. I like little bits and pieces from each stanza. Not your best write that I've seen, but still, it's a comfortingly flowing rhyme with a pleasant message.
