power of poem

It's competition day and beautiful May you practice all year round, I hope my routine won't fall to the ground. Makeup applied and hair so tight, that smell of hairspray gives my heart a little fright. Two ambitious girls working together. Warm up is starting why do I not feel better? Two minutes I am told Two minutes to perform. You have got this Emma, show them you’re in form. Coach shouts five minutes, My heart starts to jump Beads of sweat appear, my partner gives me a fist bump. Two minutes to perform Two minutes Two minutes Demons appear Why do I fear? Our names are called we both exhale loudly, On to the floor, fake smiles on our face We have got this now, Just keep up with the pace. Two minutes to perform Two minutes Two minutes The faded shouts of the crowd Your coach cheering loud My heart is on fire My partner throws me higher. I land on my feet I open my eyes. My smile tells it all we deserve a prize Walking off the mat it is hard to hide the emotion My heart is still pounding It is like a drank a crazy potion Hugs all around big smiles and well done. My coach is so ecstatic My heart is a little erratic Now the wait for results This part is hard to take Counting of scores can make your heartbreak. Number one on the podium on top of the world Wearing that gold medal How could life get any better! Two minutes I performed Two minutes Two minutes. To the sport, I love so dear, Here to an even better year.
