The Finish Line


Held on to a ticket that did not win
To remind me not to get my hopes up if I take a chance
When did I become so unlucky
We were told all you had to do was try hard
Be prepared for opportunity and say your prayers like a good girl
It is the race of life
The difference is I fell on my way to the finish line
Got back up and forgot how to run
Started to walk and it started to rain
Walked through the puddles and lost a shoe
Went barefoot and injured my foot
Limped till I crawled 
Crawled till I bled 
I might not win this race 
But I will make it to the end
