I knew that it was cruel to be so optimistic / but in my solitude,

Hours and hours of preparation and planning and sacrifice, all for a shot at glory. The trainers have ingrained and scarred it into their minds ─── failure is not an option. It never has been. This opportunity, the one they've built up to their entire lives, will not be usurped by some farmer boy playing god.
