Story - I was running at sectionals last year for cross country and I completely fell apart and let my team down - so this is how I felt.
Disappointments
sun settles as the night breeze dies
a quick little knot, feet pound the road
as dawn breaks, the world wakes
the sweetest sound, the simple pound of my feet on the road
a pitter patter song leads my heart as I follow the breeze
A simple quake, thunder breaks
as it starts to hail, must press on not to fail
doubt and worry, to turn, to hurry
pounding from my feet to my head
how I long to turn and wake from bed
the reality, pain, shame, even after crossing the line.
