Life Is A Race

By Astitva Tripathi

Life is a race,

Where we see a place,

A place full of dreams incomplete,

For this race, everyone competes.

But many lose, and only a few do win,

Winners get the hall of fame, while losers stay in places dim,

That’s the place I’m talking about,

The place where losers lie, filled with doubt.

They don't accept defeat, feeling shy,

But to those out there, let me clarify,

Many opportunities the future will bring,

So don’t be sad or let your face grim.

True, life is a race, but hark everyone!

Need not everyone run.

For life will never do injustice to anyone.

Life is not just what it brings to you,

Life is what you make of its hue.

So seize your opportunity,

For life ain't just a cup of tea.

In this grand race, take your own pace,

Embrace every moment, cherish every place.

For those who stumble and fall behind,

REMEMBER, strength comes from the mind.

Life’s true essence lies in the journey,

In the lessons learned, and in your personal discovery.

Victory is sweet, but so is the fight,

Every step you take, every struggle, every plight.

So to the so-called losers, lift your heads high,

Look beyond the clouds and aim for the sky.

Life’s a canvas, paint it bold,

With colors of dreams, let your story unfold.

For life is not about the race we chase,

But the courage and grace we embrace.

Every dawn brings a new chance to start,

With hope in your eyes and fire in your heart.

True, life is a race, but hark everyone!

Victory is not just for those who run.

For life will always offer its hue,

It’s not just what happens, it’s what you do.
