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
