I run my fastest <br />But still got beat <br />I land on my head <br />When i should be on my feet <br />I try to move forward <br />But i'm stuck in rewind <br />Why don't i keep at it. <br />I won't be left behind <br /> <br />The harder i am thrown <br />The higher i bounce <br />I give it my all <br />and that's all that's counts <br />In first place, i seldon find <br />so i push to the limit <br />I won't be left behind <br /> <br />Some people tell me you can't <br />Some say don't <br />Some simply give up <br />I reply, I won't <br />Locked down away in my future <br />My happiness is my excellment <br />I wont be left behind <br /> <br />Make the best of each moment <br />The future is soon the past <br />The more I tell myself this <br />The less I come in last <br />Throughout my competitions <br />I've learned what winning is about <br />And plain and clear lessons <br />Giving up is the easy way out <br /> <br />So every night before i go to bed <br />I hope in a small way i have shined <br />Tomorrow is a brand-new day <br />And I won't be left behind <br /> <br />carlisa smith<br /><br />carlisa smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-won-t-be-left-behind/
