Home : The Collection : Feel the pride

The time is up,
This body is not mine,
All given, the 6 minute grind,
The colors stripped off,
And glistening sweat,
Falling, dripping, to the mat,
Across the defeated,
Tired and sad,
Gave his all, just too bad,
A third near, motions he makes,
I grasp a hand,
A hand grasps mine,
I feel a thrill shoot my spine,
Above my head,
My hand is raised,
I now can hear,
The cheering crowd,
The adrenalin ebbs, gone red shroud.
I feel the pain,
And feel the pride,
Off of the mat, to the stand I stride,
My name I sign,
Proclaiming the win,
Knowing I worked hard, did my best,
And later, the medal I wear,
Around my neck it weights,
The cameras flashing,
Cheerings blare,
And I stand there,
Glory in my eyes.
