Will You Be Ready?
Months of deliberation
Anticipation
Practice-practice-practice
All down to one shot
One game
One race
A split second can change everything
A hit
A choke
A slip
And everything is gone
Will you be ready?
When the hours of practice
Training
Pressure
Stress
Seem wasted and worthless
Will you be ready?
When it comes time to ask yourself
'Is it worth it?'
Will you be ready?
Will you fight to prove them wrong?
The judges
Your opponent
The clock
Yourself
-OR-
Will you fade into the organized chaos of everyday life?
Day in
Day out
Not caring
Not feeling
It's all up to you
Which fate do you choose?
