I Won’t be left Behind!
by Shannon
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’m stuck in rewind
Why do I keep at it?
I won’t be left behind.
The harder I am thrown
The higher I bounce
I give it my all
And that’s all that counts/
In first place
Myself, I seldom find.
So I push to the limit-
I won’t be left behind.
Some people tell l me you can’t,
Some say don’t
Some simply give up
I reply – I won’t
The power is here
Locked away in my mind
My perseverance is my excellence.
I won’t be left behind.
Make the best of each moment
The future, soon the past
The more I tell myself this
The less I come in last
Throughout my competitions
I’ve learned what winnings about
A plain and clear lesson
Giving up is the easy way out.
So every night before I go to bed
I hope in a small way I have shined
Tomorrow is brand new day
And I won’t be left behind.
