Keep Up

Praised, amazed,excited, but scared

I can't belive I made it I am now free

But inside I have to hide the real me.

I am afraid I am not good enough to be on the team

But it is my all time dream

I don't think I am good enough to stand up and shine

But I also don't want to just sit on my behind

I feel  like I hear whispers about how I suck 

But then I think I have good luck 

I realize weather I win or lose 

That I can do whatever I choose

I wouldn't have made it if I was not good

So  I should have understood

I will work hard and not put too much in my cup

And I will do just fine keeping up

This piece keys into my experience was th dance and any sport that I have done. I feel that I might not be as good as the others and this is a poem about how I feel. But as I get used to it and start to discover my potential I realize that nobody is better then anybody and that if I try as hard as I can and have a positive additude then I will succeed in more ways then one i hope. When people read this and they are going through what I am going through or used to go through. I want them to take out of I what I did. I want to to forget about what people say and follow your heart and It doesn't matter what other people say because if you try and keep you're heart in the right place you can't fail because you will not only be confident in what you are doing but confident in yourself.
