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 wont be left behind. 

The harder I am thrown 

The higher I bounce. 

I give it my all

and thats all that counts. 

In first place

Myself, I seldom find. 

So I push to the limit

I wont be left behind. 

Some people tell me you cant

Some say dont.

Some simply give up 

I reply 

"I wont"

The power is here

Locked away in my mind.

I wont be left behind. 

Make the best of each moment

The future is soon in the past. 

The more I tell myself this

The less I come in last. 

Throught out my competitions

Ive learned what winning is about.

A plain and clear lesson

That should always be sought out.
