Running, running

Pounding Hearts

Slapping Soles

Labored Breaths

Think. Think!

Remember. Memorize.

Trying Isn’t

Good Enough

Okay

Doesn’t Make the Cut

Good is Failure

Great is Decent

Trying and Trying

To Pass this Made-Up Test

No More

Running

No More

Tears

Feet Lifting

Hair Flowing

Body Light

As I Fly Above

No More Worry

Stress Long Gone

We are Good

We are Great

We May Not be the Best

But We are Special, proud

We are Us
