It began with a shot in the dark,
A chance to surpass what was expected,
But after such a short distance,
My body is affected,
My bodies screaming,
My legs are lead,
The only part still running,
Is the brain within my head,
Others are so far ahead,
Success is within their grasp,
While I'm still crawling trudging on,
Been so long since they first passed,
They've settled down ,
With those they've found,
They chose to stop where they did,
Whereas I hit the ground,
While I clamber for love, a career and peace of mind,
Trying to find my own pace,
I'm stunted for this moment in time,
I've lost the human race.
