I know what it is to be last
to lose
to be lost
I know what it is to rise
to shake my fist
to be more than just a name on a list
I know what it is to try
to cry
to wonder why
I know what it is to have won
to get back up
to get it done
Last
Bottom
Flat
Floor
Down
In a well
Woe
Ground
Gravity
Prosperity
Soar
My wings
Flapping
Flying
High
To the sun
I am sure I’ll burn
I might even melt
But all I have felt
Will build me
Bring me back
Back to my habitat
Out of ashes
Brushing off dirt
Shaking off dust
Chipping rust
Erasing defeat
Only one way to complete
Compete
