In gymnastics each flip and twist
Must be precise
one mistake could cost
it all
bad decisions
missed landings
one mistake
Beep Beep Beep
Alarm clock I think
reach out to turn it off
can’t move or even breathe
open eyes, way too bright
Needles in my skin
I coat my hands and feet in the white, powdery chalk,
Running through my beam routine in my head-
Trying to calm my nerves
By focusing on where to point my toes
I believe in ME!
I always have
Don't be negatve
Gymnastics all the way!
I believe in ME!
Other do not
I can do it
Dream big
You can do it
I believe in ME!
Gymnastics is coaches
That are strict and precise.
Gymnastics is warm ups
That make you drip with sweat.
Gymnastics is ropes
Clock
As the tail drops,
I listen quietly yet sadly.
How well it flows.
What makes the time go?
The sound of footsteps
tells me people are coming.
What does time hint?
What is it that comes?
College is coming oh me oh my
I have no idea what I'll do tonight
Applications, Dead Lines and Work
When in doubt I should just twerk
No that won't help me get in college
Maybe I should just quote hamlet
forward roll-the promise of more
cartwheel clumsy around
hope to never fall down!
cause life is a backbend
round off now,
warmer, stronger.
independence on beams-
seems life is a backbend
I am an anxious Gymnast
I wonder if I can pull off this bar routine
I hear the bar squeak as my opponent performs ahead of me
I see the chalk soaring through the air as vaporous powder
