Regret

Today

I did not make the team

After Practice

We assembled in a circle

The line up was chosen

I was not in it

I failed for lack of technique

Now

I am disappointed

That team will get a medal

I will not be there

To screw things up

Or drive to victory

Earlier

I felt strong and confident

I had beasted an erg 5K

My sheer speed and strength

Should have saved me

And I would have stayed

At the Beginning

I could not make 

Enough practices

My skills were poor

And stayed that way

Today

I pulled with all my might

After Practice

I regretted that I did not pull harder

While my teammates gathered

I stayed away

Feeling dejected and weak

Now

I know I am better

I know that I will win

Just not with my team

I am strong

I will be stronger

Earlier

I thought I had given enough

It appears I did not

But its not about me

Its about the success of a team

At the Beginning

Is where the regret is

I plan to dwell there

And turn it to anger

To fuel my...

Rebirth

In the Future

I will make the team
