two steps behind

why am i always two steps behind.

killing myself everyday to achieve the best.

i know i'm better than this.

i should be there,

i used to be like them.

i could run with the best.  

my legs are strong,

i am powerful

yet i'm still two steps behind.

when will i be three steps ahead?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

didn't qualify for a race next weekend.  i'm quite upset about it.  i just want to be strong and powerful and fast again.  i feel like i can never catch up.
