Analysis of Far ahead



Jumpstart for some, race far ahead
Adrenaline, anxious spells without regret
First to hit the ball perfectly correct
Open left field and gain respect

Study and "practice, more practice " have their reward
Bat, pitcher, catch, know when to play your card
Euphoric when your friends do cheer
Respected, cheered on, you are dear
But after new and awful training, you're a bust
Know life is a competition, full of lust
Sometimes you have to change the sport
Leave venue, fly now to another port
Constantly your ego, body feed
Satisfied, anxious to challenge and compete
To win and overtake the goal
Does have its price, you pay the toll
