The bell has sounded
for the end.
And I am in
my last lap.
My clouded eyes
do not see far,
but see horizons
closing in.
I do not know
if I\'m running,
or memories
are flashing past.
I do not want
a helping hand
to aid me cross
the finish line.
i\'ve always loved
my friends about,
but this I want
to do alone.
