I could hear the cheers from afar
The sound echoed like the wind
I knew I had to raise the bar
My body ached
The state of my mind changed
I pushed myself, I kept going
As I drew nearer
My feet against the ground
My heart grew stronger
“I can do this”
“I can make it”
“I will pass”
I still march ahead
This race I’m running
In my own lane I am winning
The test of life
Will bring out the best of me
I will become the number one me
