It's a mental race they say
You know they're right and you fight
You fight against all the negativity in your head
The sayings repeating on and on
You can't do it, you're too slow, they just lapped you, it hurts, you're stupid, stop trying,
Last lap
You're dieing
Move! They yell
You're trying
The line is there waiting
You cross it
Finally it's over
Then you remember time!
Oh yes the time
You look
The time is 20 minutes and 30 seconds
You look up
People are laughing, looking, judging,
Disappointment overcomes you
You do it again the next day
You continue to try and get better, telling yourself I can only get better from here.
