A Running Ship

Living up to expectations is always difficult

Assumed to be the best

Countless people counting on my success 

With this much pressure will I sink or will I become the best?


I know the sacrifice it takes to be great

Speed was always my best ability

It is a luxurious feeling to have this blessing.

I have family and friends waiting for me on the other side.


I am on the voyage to college

Even though I am young, the burden of growing up is beginning to start.

Being a role model is not always easy,

I have people expecting me to be the best ship.

Being an athlete is like an iceberg,

The depth of being an athlete would make most people sink and drown.

I don't want to be another failed athlete like the titanic.


How long will it take for me to reach my destination?

I am constantly tired needing coal to fuel my engine,

Obeying the ship's captain, determined on perfection,

I don't want to disappoint anyone.

I have to be the strongest, the fastest, and be unsinkable all at once,

But will it be ever enough?
