Poets are those who love,--who feel great truths, And tell them.

Go Hard or Go Home

by Jodi B.

Beam, Bars, Floor, Vault
Get you routine without fault
Stretch, Twirl, Bend, Flip
Just be careful not to slip
Practice, Practice 'til you get it right
Jugdement day will be a fight
You have to be the best,
Better than the rest
Grips and leotards,
This stuff's not that hard
As the judges sit and criticize,
You just have to realize,
You know this stuff,
It's not tough.
When you land it perfectly,
The crowd will cheer triumphantly.
You did it, you're done.
Walking back to your seat
thinking "Wow, that was fun"
The scoreboard flashes nine point eight
Coach says "Wow, you did great"
You hear your name called for the gol.
You think inside "This never gets old"
This makes all the pain worth while,
when you stand up on that block and smile
Once again surprised to find,
the only thing that you hear,
Are the loyal crowd cheers.
