Here I had hoped to avoid injury to myself
To avoid the wrenching pain
And here I had hoped not to lie again
To avoid the guilt inside
And here I had hoped to be ready for Friday
Regionals are coming up you see
But no I was stupid
Just like I always am
I managed to injure myself and
I think it just may be because I lied
I guess God didn't like that I lied
To get out of the house and go hang out with friends
But I did and now it's too late
Because now my shoulder is done in
I don't know how I'm supposed to run like this
It hurts just to move my arm
Typing this takes awhile
So how am I supposed to run
I regretted lying the moment I did
But i figured oh well it's already too late
So I clamped my mouth shut and went on with the game
And do you notice the pain it's brought me
But I had some fun I think
I don't know if it was worth it
but I am so sorry I lied
'Cause I think it was God's punishment
And I think he may not let me run

I don't know if today is a good day, or if yesterday was, or if tomorrow will be, but I'd like to think so.

Oh babe! Karma really does suck sometimes doesn't it? I really am sorry for what happened and I hope the arm heals fast but sometimes you get taught lessons in ways that you really didn't want to learn them! Beautiful write though, great way of expressing your feelings.

Greetings,

I liked your treatment of this event. You kept it simple and honest; more importantly sincere. Sometimes acknowledgement is enough to move on from, there needs not be any regret if you try to make better.

Best to you,
Taryn

Just so you know I am going to Regionals TODAY!!!!  I am incredibly excited!  My arm still pains me but it's workable.  I just hope that I can go on to States!  Thanx everyone who replied.

I don't know if today is a good day, or if yesterday was, or if tomorrow will be, but I'd like to think so.
