Unknown I run my fastest but still get beat. I land on my head when I should be on my feet. I try to move forward but I am stuck in rewind. Why do I keep at it? I won't be left behind. The harder I am thrown, the higher I bounce. I give it my all, and that's all that counts. In first place, myself, I seldom find. So I push the limit - I won't be left behind. Some people tell me you can't, some people say don't. Some simply give up I reply, I won't. The power is here, locked away in my mind. My perseverance is my excellence; I won't be left behind. Make the best of each moment; the future is soon the past. The more I tell myself this, the less I come in last. Throughout my competitions, I've learned what winning is about. A plain and clear lesson - giving up is the easy way out. So every night before I go to bed, I hope in a small way I have shined. Tomorrow is a brand new day, and I won't be left behind |
