Tracing Their Footsteps
Respecting somebody takes time
for disappointment follows their every step
as we watch them accomplish
what we dream of doing
and admire their achievements,
which fuel our own desire to be like them.
We long to stand right beside them
and show our respect and admiration
for who they are
and what they’ve done,
turning our backs
on the disappointment
that failed to prove that our icons were nothing.
We drink from the cup of fame
and taste a dream
we wish to live.

Winner or loser, we still dream, and we still live. :)
