Poetry

Right when

I step over the finish line and have reached my goal.

Do you show up as if you’ve been supporting me this whole time?

But you disappeared on me a long time ago as if trying to figure me out wasn’t worth it anymore.

I should’ve seen it coming that once I was up again, you would show up, but you know, I had forgotten.

For I was focused on myself and the people around me that hadn’t given up and had pushed and pulled me forward at times, So my success wasn’t just mine alone but a group’s effort in the end.
