Please pass by me

I tied my shoes, made tight my fists, stretched out my legs, struggled to push myself closer to the finish line.
Full speed, full strength, whole-hearted, devoted, determined... till one point I couldn't move any forward..
Oops, S-t-u-c-k.

I looked around, tried again, harder, with more power...
Still, S-t-u-c-k.

I stood there straight, looked up to the sky, uttered, 'Yo...watssssssup.'
At the back of me someone whispered, 'Yea... stop and stand right there. Now let me do the lead. I'll walk BEFORE you.'




Please pass by me, so that I can follow.
