The Competition

Restlessness being the key of the day

Ran around to find peace somewhere

A profound nap was a 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
