Did I cross the line?

It’s hard to say

I wonder if it’s better

Even if I did

I wonder if I wanted to cross the line

To do the things I said I would never do

I promised my mother before she died

That I would never do that

That I wouldn’t disappoint her

But too bad

I love running marathons

And even though it would be going against her wishes

To finish a mile that long

I hope I crossed that line because that would mean I won the race

I hope I crossed the finish line

And take home gold

And even though I love my mother

She is dead rotting below.
