The last time
I have never tried harder to keep the tears back
knowing that it is all over
never again will I step on a track
I tried my hardest but it wasn't enough
the feeling of failure is overwhelming
I cant live with this feeling
this feeling of letting everyone down
including myself
I feel so disappointed in myself
I should have ran faster
ran until I could not run anymore
I should have pushed more
It is all over and I can't control my tears
they just keep sitting on the edge
waiting for someone to bring it up
so they can overflow and run down my face
that was the last time I stepped on a track
the last time I wait in the starting blocks
the last time I wait for the gun
the last hand-off
the last track meet
the last of my life....
