Chase Not.

by Reebie Ann Flowers


This life experience should not be lived like it’s a race.

Competing with the competition?

Directly deflecting from the idea, I'm only in competition with myself.

So, it's no rush. Imagine life at your own pace.

Of course, deadlines exist to keep time management in place.

But, for heaven's sake, slow down.

Moving too fast to end up nowhere is how we all got here.

And look and stand firm with no shame.

Life of the soulless has attempted to avoid the truth in the game.

That brings expansion to the mind frame.

Closed-mindedness is at an all-time peak.

Spot those who want to place a rush on time.

Yet, they are never seen with a watch.
