100

A Poem by Jake Staffeld

The gun goes off

The alarm clock sounds

Sprinting for the finish line

Getting up for another day

Run as fast as you can

Stumbling down the hall

Passing the other racers

Passing things you would rather not see

Round the last corner

Enter this last door

100 meters left

100 seconds left

Since only half the people seem to get it, one is succeeding, one is killing themselves.

A little short, but very good. I agree with the other readers, some extra description would be nice.

Very dark and depressing.

I'm not sure if I understand what's happening in this poem. It sounds good though. It's a little vague.

Great write! I do though, feel like something is missing, whether it be an explanation or maybe a bit more "mood words" or emotion. It is well done, however. :)
