They Said

They said

But You can’t.

You looked

At them

And said

Watch me

I will.

They said

What happened

Is a tragedy.

You said

Maybe

But it’s not

The end of

My story.

They said

You’ll never

Win the race.

You said

I’ve fought

In tougher places.

They said

Don’t you just

Want to give up

Give in.

You said

What kind of

Life

Would that be.

They said

Not all stories

End in happily ever

Afters.

You said

My story

Is being rewritten.
