The 7th Baton is the hate that I love you
I don’t know if I want to pass my likes and dislikes to you
Because I hate that I love some things
And secretly love that I hate others
As you stay on course
Different things will entice you
Some are good for you
Some are bad
you do have a choice
A choice of rights and wrongs
They are just not all appropriate or beneficial
To the lap you are currently on
Some laps will have more hurdles than others
And in those laps
you need to focus
Pace yourself
So you don’t trip
you can’t run with water in your hands while jumping through hurdles
Some laps are convenient for such multitasking
Waving to the cheering fans and family
Pouting for the cameras
All good
But not all beneficial
At all times
And that will suck
Because you may not have been given the opportunity
Like others may have
It was a sprinting lap for you
But a paparazzi lap for them
If you try catching up to a missed lap
you could run out of strength and stamina
Even trip
But still, have to get back up and run
So, I want you to reflect and think
About the likes and dislikes you inherit from me
Which ones are worth keeping
And what should be thrown out
Just because I hated it for the past laps
Does not mean it is not for you
Every runner in a relay race has their own style and pace
They are positioned at specific laps for the baton exchange
Because of their individual strengths and weakness
So, work out your salvation
And run to win
Be careful not to love something that does not love you back
