Cheerleading
Location
I go up, I go down.
They spin me backwards and all around.
"Oh, look what you've done now.'
They say as Sarah lays on the ground.
We get hurt, we get injured
We get broken, we get limbered.
But we constantly come back
as if pain is what we hindered.
Broken trust, broken neck
What the freak, what the heck
We scream and cry as yet
another one hits the deck.
We're in your gym, we're in your lobby
Makeup on, knees knobby
Lets Go team, Lets Go!
I am NOT a Hobby.
Skirts short, bows high
I base.. You fly.
Competitors pass by
But no competition, no lie.
Practice off, judges on
From dusk til dawn,
It's only 2 minutes long
so DONT... get it wrong.
You win, you lose
The dont's, the do's
The winner on the news
The loser's boo hoos.
The fun and the fear
Practicing ends here
My ending is near...
and yes...
I CHEER!

I really like this. As a fellow cheerleader, I totally understand this poem. So much work is put into a two minute routine, and I hate it when others fail to see its athleticism. But, it's definitely an exhilerating sport.
Good job!
(P.S. TINY, nitpicky thing, but when the don't in "so DONT...get it wrong" should have an apostrophe.)
