Too Late
No one believed me when I told them,
When I walked down the steps,
And out the door,
"I will be the best! The one above all!",
But instead of encouragement,
They praised my downfall,
"Give up right now! It's impossible can't you see,"
No one wanted to believe in me
I pushed them aside and ran down the path,
"Just watch me, " I said
"Just see what I will be!"
From that day on I worked so hard,
Trained everyday,
Never threw away my cards
I got bruises and cuts,
Bleeded out my guts,
The pain was so much,
But the reward was such
I saw myself get stronger,
As my rivals began to fall,
My name reigned through the land,
With the medal I had in my hands
Yet the reward was not true,
I was still kinda blue,
I still hadn't shown,
What others have not known
So I ran down that path,
From many years ago,
Everything was the same,
No one remembered my name
I knocked on that door,
With the same golden knob,
A woman appeared at the door and said,
"What is your job?"
I beckoned for my father,
Asking if he was there,
I told her I wanted to tell him,
I had something to share
Her face turned glum,
She gave out a low hum,
"You see sonny," she began to say
I pushed her aside and said "Give me way"
"I want to know where my father hides"
She interrupted me and said, "No sonny, your father has died"
