tragedy
how do you find how far you can run?
run 'til you fall.
but what if, on the final stretch
when you can almost see the finish line
something comes up from behind
and pushes you.
sends you flying.
knocks the breath right out of you
and takes you down;
harder than, farther than you ever thought
you ever fell
before.
when that happens,
how can you ever stand again?
