A Painful Lesson
At the start confidence is at its
Peak
But as time goes by it drops
Off
The longer it takes the harder it
Gets
Although the spark of energy has
Left
You still keep trying
Again and Again
Until you think you could never walk
Again
Out of the water you come feeling like a
Failure
Then you hear the words we’ll try again after
Lunch
As you eat you think I will never
Get Up
Until you try again and
Get Up
