Running Again Poem by Dan Quiles

I lost it all by a second,
Hurting inside real bad,
I am a sad lad.
I wish I had that one back.
Hearing the roaring crowd and some boos
Not to far away, I can see
My mother holding her tears back,
Keeping myself composed is so hard,
I must play the cards right,
Keep it real tight.
I lost it all by a single second,
I may be down but not completely out,
At least it wasn’t a blowout,
Nothing is ever a blackout.
Because I know, I will be right back
Running like a speeding lion.
