The Athlete

In life many are the races For varying requirements to cater Because of an undeniable fact That different abilities people got The capabilities differing even further There are those who are too fast They will sprint for a few seconds, Then hold their breath in rest They choose the 100 meters race Others moderate but sure They will take the 21km half marathon Others less moderate but more certain They will do the 42 km marathon? What happens when one overestimates; His speed and gets into the 100meters race? His strength and joins the 21 km race? His perseverance and joins the 42 km race? But what happens when adrenalin malfunctions? And one lies to himself that he’s an athlete I would rather be sure am one Then slow but sure do the 42 km marathon Perhaps victory upon me would come, who knows?
