Day 257 - The Finish

I can see it from here,
It's in my sights,
Narrow and white.
My mind is already there,
Celebrating victory,
Re-writing history.
Bang, goes the gun,
False start,
Back to square one.
We're off again,going hard,
Tripped up,
Opportunities marred.
I just can't seem,
To get it right,
A losing fight.
I'll cross it one day,
It's meant to be,
But that line still taunts me.
