Things I love

I love the gym,

the squeak of the chalky uneven bars, 

the thump of the hard springboards, 

the punch of the feet on the carpet floor, 

and the gentle noises of the leather, wooden beam,

It has made all the difference;the gym


I love the gym 

somewhere I can learn

somewhere I can breathe

somewhere I can feel strong,

confident,

and powerful

somewhere I can spent 14 hours away,

from everything,


As i dance across the springy, carpet and wood floor,

I feel as if I am dancing across the stars

When I swing between the chalk coated bars, 

I am swinging through the trees of the Amazon

 

Even if the fear creeps up on me,

I push it away

Knowing that if I want to stay, 

I have to be confident, strong and 

Knowing one wrong move, could send me off,

But one great one, could give me happiness,


I have power and strength

dont underestimate me, 

I’m tough as nails and 

As strong as the fire within me
