The Race

by Sam M. Phillips

The racers stand at the starting line,

They move inside themselves,

Nervous energy,

Years of training,

Sacrifice, hard work,

Everything focused on this moment,

There is no future

And no past,

Only now,

Looking down the track,

Each man fights a battle

Against himself,

Each man struggles

To find the will to win,

Each man hopes

He can overcome

His own demons,

Forget,

Be here,

Forget,

Ready,

Forget,

Set,

Forget,

Go.
