Passion Through Pain
December 20, 2019
the years of training
showcased now
in a matter a minutes
the meet a final bow
The rips, the power
The chalk like a glove
Flying free in the air
Falling swift like a dove
the dance, the rhythm
No longer bound
Springing forward again
Breaking records,
all around
the fear the height
the focus and terror
So far from the land
All deductions and errors
the distance, the steps
the sprint off the floor
Rising upwards on the path
To victory once more
the sport that brings both smiles and tears,
the love of my teammates making up for the years
of pain of scrapes of twists and sprains,
the fractures the breaks the strains all the same
Counting down the days
Until i am home
Back to the place
I've always called my own
