Wishing You Were Them

On your marks. . .

Get set...

Go...

And you're off.

Feeling the wind and

The blur made by

You're self

Looking ahead,

Seeing the backs of others

Their flying hair,

Their colored soles.

Realizing your last,

Wishing you were them.

Pushing your hardest

(The last few inches)

Reaching the finish line

In last.

It's not like you being a sore looser,

Congratulations you say,

Still

Wishing

You were them.
