Holding my own

10/03/2021 – Poem a Day Compilation



I was never expected to be as good

    As fast

    As strong

    As agile

But I proved all of them wrong

    The opponents

    The media

    The public

The coaches saw something in me

    A determination

    A courage

    A force

That made me into something

    That survived

    That persevered

    That triumphed

And I learned to hold my own
