The Phantom Win
Inspired by C.R.Stanger
Check out her work on this site
it’s sad how quickly we run to be on our own
and how reluctant we are to run to one another
as if life is some race to win
as if to say where we’ve been isn’t the finish we’re striving for
the phantom limb
the phantom win
the part of ourselves that we just can’t seem to live with
the life we wish for
and just can’t seem to live without
