After all
I lost
I am not sure
The road knows
My stumbles
That got me through
To the eye in the sky
Playing witness
At the finish line
Fall
Now
In a straight line
I can make it
Except this time
I struggle to get over
Dozens of hurdles
I cannot see
What I saw then
It must be false
Go
Now
Listen carefully
Because I must
Lower my head
To avoid getting hurt
Stop
Now
I knew it would be hard
With my ears closed
During the escape
Through the field
For a trip
Over the hurdles
Falling face first
Is unfortunately
All I remember
Right now
Before going back

Of that I have no doubt. It looks like a great deal of thought went into it. But, it came out beautifully. Very creative effort.
