Poem Commentary

I never got the chance to go to state competition. my duet partner ended up having her SAT test the same weekend. but educationis important so i cant be mad at her. but boy did it suck.

So Close

I was so close to reaching my goal.
It was right within my grasp.
But then it was taken out of my reach,
Riped violently out of my hands.
I thought I was going to make it.
I thought "maybe this is my chance".
But then time was turned upside down,
And I was unable to complete my task.
Everything always contradicts its self.
Do this but don't do that.
Look but don't touch,
Touch but don't taste,
I guess life just isn't fair.
Well, I've learned to never get my hopes up,
Never allow myself to think a dream is about to come true.
Because every time I get real close,
Everything comes unglued.
