I was running out of time

and trying hard to catch up

It was like being on a treadmill

Having no destination

Just a goal, a need to get there

Working alone, self discipline

was all I could rely on to keep going

 

Was I chasing shadows?

Trying to run backwards?

It felt very surreal, I was floating

Looking down on everything

Yes everything in my whole life

Why was I desperate to re engage

with the past? Was it compulsion?

 

But now the brakes are on

The need to race against time

has ceased and as the song goes;

‘I’m reviewing the situation’

Taking my time, processing everything

This is actually not easy

Not after a race lasting a lifetime

 

You see, I was running out of time

and trying hard to catch up

It was like being on a treadmill

Having no destination

Just a goal, a need to get there

But that journey has now ended

A new life begins
