Opportunities Missed

I once could run fast as required But really had nowhere to go Able to work where I desired But then I had nothing to show Opportunities waved aside As a pesky fly on my face Complacent, I was self denied Of all I was offered to taste Excited, my break awaited Is here and worth focusing on Publishers clearing house stated That I may have already won!
