Struggle.

Struggle.

A Poem by whiteNight
"

Mm, that rush of competition. Whether is be again an opponent or yourself - It's another feeling entirely c:

"

Harder. Faster. Stronger.

It’s only an open field and me

I stand and take a deep breath

This is where I need to be


I take off sprinting

The ball at me feet

Who said I did this for fun?

Sure as hell isn't a treat


My legs are on fire

My heart is racing

I can’t stop now

This is my dream I’m chasing


Shot after countless shot

I can’t accept a mistake

Water drenching my body

It had to be raining, for God’s sake


My lungs are breathing in ice

My fingers have frozen cold

But I won’t stop trying

Too late to give in and fold


My body is shaking

Feelings like I'm dying

My mind says give up

My heart says never stop trying


Rain and cold only separates

The try from the try not

You have to work for that one chance

When that one chance is all you got


11 long years of sport

Yeah, sometimes I fall

But I keep pushing foward

I've always gave my all


To come out of top

To always be in my prime

To say I never gave up

To win gold -

Every damn time.

Hi, I'm 16, and constantly moving. I've lived around the world, and I wanted a place to share my writing. I'm a sucker for beat poems, and I would be lost without sports and literature in my life. .. more..
