On your marks, get, set and go
The gunshot seemed to have told us so
We started running our respective run
We were all running the marathon.
Started off the blocks, from the word 'Go'
Rules of the race kept changing though
Laps got added as I ran
Behind me was not a single man.
Running on this track I was the master
But everyone seemed so much faster
Running around was so much ease
But why is everyone ahead please?
High time, I thought, I raised my gear
To a level no one else could bear
But why cannot I go for the kill
Oh am I not running the treadmill!
Woken up thankfully from my dream
On this message light threw its beam
If there's something to make more sense
Only change the frame of your reference.

I guess that's how life is. But it isn't a dream unfortunately.
