Ain't it funny? <br />How the world keeps spinnin' <br />Like it's in a damn race <br />But nobodys winnin' <br /> <br />Like a never-ending sprint <br />Running, Running, Race <br />Too bad we fail to see <br />We're just running in place. <br /> <br />The world will never stop <br />Just because you drop <br />I'm sure you all know this <br />But I just want to put it on notice <br /> <br />That <br />It's all so bittersweet <br />When you've got someone for keeps <br />But <br />I just hope you looked before you leaped <br /> <br />If you trip and fall <br />They'll call you weak <br />Try and prove them wrong <br />Here's that world <br />Let's see if your shoulders are strong <br /> <br />The road is long <br />And the race is never-ending <br />This is from the heart <br />So why does it feel like i'm pretending? <br /> <br />If you've never, taken a fall <br />You deserve an applause <br />A standing ovation <br />Your name will reach fame <br />And rein, but not precipitation <br /> <br />Ain't it funny <br />How we can 'have it all' in the world? <br />But down here on Earth, <br />What's 'it all' worth? <br /> <br />Hopefully <br />No. Yes. my shoulders will heal <br />From holding the weight of the world on my shoulders <br />Because I refused to kneel.<br /><br />Jared Bradford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/healing-shoulders/
