An Ode to Cheerleading

My one true love.

The light,

and life of mine,

you stuck with me,

all through my time.


While your pain is excruciating,

your voice can set me free;

As the blaring yells

I’ve participated in

have eerily grown on me,


You linger through my heart,

while my world changes.

The fear of letting you down

still holds me in cages.


Through our dangerous stunts,

you had faith in me.

Pushing my strength

until I couldn’t see.


The trial and injury

you’ve delivered upon me,

still ring my soul

with the love you’ve declared.


My heart hurts, 

with your jeweled favorites.

Always wondering why I can’t be

one of them

on your list.


But still 

your presence

taught me to protect

and cherish

life’s hardest hits.
