Some see the success
never the stress
always the hugs and cheers
never the blood and tears
they know of your glory
but not of your story
some will envy your victory
Stereotype of an athlete
is strong, tall, able.
But sometimes the athlete
is disabled.
Maybe the athlete
stumbled or fell
and maybe the athlete
started to swell.
Our Para-athletes
Pass, set, and hit.
When I walk into the gym I never quit.
Medicine balls, burpees, and pushups,
Standing on the sidelines,
Never really seen
Athletic Trainers are the backbone
Of the whole teamWe wrap hurt wrists and anklesWe cover up your cuts
No matter how much pain you're in
God work your magic through my hands;
I'll heal the souls of the dedicated.
When they break like rusted baskeball nets,
I remind them why they entered the game.
Remember when you dad got you your first ball?
The sky is so bright but there is no sun
Balls lost from sight in the light leave you on the run
Searching for the ball as the missing piece to a puzzle
hours go by in only seconds of action
I love baseball, it is my holy grail.
On the field 9 fearsome warriors ready to battle.
The clean cut edges,
The smoothness of each base,
Every corner better than the next,
Perfectly polished,
Standing in awe of its grandness,
The happiness melts in,
First,
Second,
Third,
Smell the intensity, does it make you anxious?
Feel the stitchings leave your hand, don't they feel rough?
Hear the eerie crack, does it make you cringe?
Taste the relief, but not yet satisfying?
i hear your laugh dailyi picture your smile ofteni contemplate about the night they took my friendtrying to block it out but it plays again
You say I lie I clearly can't remember
Everyone forgets about me in December
Friends quickly turn into enemies toward me
No one seems to be talking about anything but me
In a cruel way nothing but hidden laughs
I am.
I am athletic and smart.
I wonder how high is the sky.
I hear the crowd scream as I enter the dome.
I see the defense in man to man zone.
I want to be the best in the NFL.
