when ur fastest is just not fast enough

u set ur mind..
u trained hard..
u learned..
u pushed..

the time comes.

on ur mark:
u settle yourself on the block..

get set:
u press on the block..

pow!!
u lift..
u lean forward.. head down..
10 small steps.. 10 metres
chest up.. lift.. drive.. 50 metres..
head up.. lift.. lift..
finish line in sight..
push!!
the final dip..

then u hear someone says: its not quick enough..

u look around.. no one look at u in the eyes..
all with either their head down or hands on their faces..
frustration written all over..
u can almost taste their frustration from the air u breath..
then they come to u and said: never mind, u did ur best..

but that does not take away the frustration from their face does it??

it taste everything but great to disappoint the one u love..
really..
