Sweat drips heavily down my neck, 
the salty scent overwhelms.
We fight hard to get to where we want
One. More. Rep.
Hands caked in the white, chalky power,
the bar leaves red rashes where it once sat.
Heavy screams escape mouths as we hit.
One. More. Rep.
Athlete upon athletes, we destroy our bodies,
to build them back up stronger than ever
Who we are on the court comes from the integrity of 
One. More. Rep.
5:00  a.m. and the alarm’s awake.
You arrive every day just to hit 
One. More. Rep.


The author's comments:

As an athlete, we strive to become the best version of ourselves. The poem One. More. Rep. is about the little things we can do that turn into something much bigger.
