The Closer, the Better

The closer the better

Nearier and nearier
Thats how i seem get when approaching the light, yet i never really feel it in sight
I do well and promising in the mid year
I flash my eyes its another new year
Still stuck in same position as the previous years
I fumble strategies to kill a cat
But the cat murders me  to death
Is it the stone i used to bat?
Is it my flippery sneakers on a painted stoep?
I wouldn't know the cause,would i?
Im far from close and being better
