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?
