Humble Steps

Oh what a humbling feeling it is 

to watch all your hard work fall into the wrong hands,

oh, the wretched feeling!

The audacity she had to steal my deserved position, 

what I had worked so hard for all year, lost within a minute's vote

Anger seems to be the only living thing inside me

But there is no going back from here, I must hold my head high.  

Team captain one day, the next, just a swimmer. 

The thought hangs over me, I could not hate my life more in this moment. 

But things get better with time, 

Stepping back cannot hurt, I have better things to focus on

move on, move on

My race here is finished, but a much greater one promises so much more for me,

I will take my humble steps towards a greater life.
