I Have Run Out of Fuel (Please Push Me Back)

i have run out of fuel
that is a fact
whatever it is, petrol or diesel
or indeed just, ‘gas’
i have run out of fuel
how do i progress so i can get back
i have no energy –
and nowhere to go
i tried my best
but my performance was to slow
here i am –
and here i go
at the tip of the top –
ran downhill
and the failure could never stop
i have run out of fuel
that is a fact
i have broken down
could please, please push me back?
