the right stuff?

trying to get well
and just not making it

seems like I fail
every chance I get

when getting back on the run
and not getting the ok

is absolutely no fun
and not at all the way

to train for a race
that's coming all too soon

I can't keep the pace
and I feel like it's all ruin

I want to do my best
but this time it's not enough

in this race I'll invest
and hope I'll have the right stuff
