She collapses on the floor
Not believing her eyes
Her heart thumped loudly
Aching with somber cries
She had worked day and night
She was determined
And had performed with all her might
"I didn't make it
My heart-desired goal
I wish I could change this
Tell me this isn't true" she cried
"Oh! Why is it I
That has to feel blue?"
She feels discouraged
She feels so low
Her heart seems swollen
With the emptiness so large
Trying to stand up
Her body seems so heavy.
She can only walk
In a speed very slow
"Do I still have hope?
Why am I so cornered?
Would I try again?"
Reviewing in her mind
The day of the competition
She remembered the many others
Who must have also tried
She remembered the orange fires
Burning in their eyes
They burned brightly
Shining in the dark
She remembers them clearly
For she has seen it once before
In the mirror
In the eyes of her own
"I can't give up now
I'll try again
Working harder
I won't give up
And next time
The medal will be mine."
