How Do I Win At Life?

A Poem

How do I study, how do I focus

The little girl in me just wants some fun

But the fun will not get me the degree or the fame

To be successful today, I have to constantly be on the run

I can't slow down, I cannot catch a breath

I have to keep working, I cannot stop

If I stop now, how will I be accepted?

Passing all the milestone, I have to be on the top

This life is a race

Everyone has to participate

If you lose, you are out of the race

But if you win – Checkmate!
