Rookie Without Control
run for fun
run as a rookie
rookie plays hooky
rookie seeks fame
fame is a game
fame can hurt
hurt like dirt
hurt your skills
skills and drills
skills to run
run out of fun
run until faint
faint no sound
faint dead away
away not found
away to place
place thumbs down
place out of breath
breath with a frown
breath slow
slow status quo
slow and shaking
shaking lips
shaking aching
aching lungs
aching heart
heart torn apart
heart sad
sad and mad
sad and ashamed
ashamed lack of training
ashamed but lingering
lingering placers
lingering racers
racers cheer
racers chant
chant and rant
chant for fame
fame not shame
fame for the win
win wherein
win with a plan
plan to work
plan the pace
pace the race
pace under control
control time
control breath next
next . . .
time . . .
