you want to be the best, to reach the furthest,
making sure to hold on tight never wanting to let go,
looking side to side at your competition
because once something comes along and distracts you
you start to buckle
your focus, your strength starts to subside,
and you end up falling smack bam on the floor
what's left. nothing but pain.
you kind of wonder what hit you,
what made you lose focus,
what was so influential to affect you
maybe it was fear
maybe it was intrigue
who will be there running to your rescue
