The Track


This drive that you have

Does it come from within

The track that you’re on

What satisfaction does it bring


You have your head down

Your heart beats quickly

Where are you going

This track is quite slippery

Some call it progress

Advancing and buying

Does it bring you joy

Or are you just surviving


Do you see an exit

At least the line

That signals success

Or are you blind


See, the track is life

It’s a circle, non-ending

There are exit signs everywhere

If you stop pretending

That the hustle and bustle

The expectation of others

Fulfills your soul

Versus beating your brothers


If you stay on this track

Just know, it’s a hack

A trick into thinking

You’ve made it perhaps


I chose an exit

A fabulous adventure,

Creating my path

Directed by pleasure

The run turned to walk

My head held high

Presence within

I witness the sky


You too have this choice

To walk or to run

To cut a new path

And head for the sun
