His racing heartbeat tells him to slow down,
But something inside makes him continue.
"So much effort was already spent!
I can't give up now."
"I've been training for this for such a long time,
What will my sponsors say?"
On he runs, overcoming obstacles from without and within.
He still keeps his lead, our persistent hero.
But alas, the final blow is to come not from himself,
-When the track disappears from under his feet,
And he disappears with it.
Such is my feeling of a time
When my opportunities
Were taken.
A loss of life,
A loss of freedom.
But not by me,
By them.
That's me for today.
