Breaking Out
Goosebumps form
On my back,
As the girl behind me
Takes steady,
Deep breaths
Down my neck.
I rest my head on the shoulder
In front of me,
And grip the two hands
Holding mine.
I can hear
My own heart,
Rapid pulses
Rattling my chest.
The loud, booming voice
Of the announcer
Fills the gym.
We all breathe
Deeper,
And grip
Harder.
I squeeze my eyes shut,
And pray
To hear our name.
CAAAAAAANON FALLLLLS
The entire team screams and leaps into the air with excitement.
Tear-streaked, makeup-caked faces beam with unending pride
As our trophy is received
And thrown into the air above our heads,
In a glorious moment of fist-pumping victory.

Standing still, waiting patiently in line for results after a performance is such an indescribable feeling.
