I Am
Location
I am an anxious Gymnast
I wonder if I can pull off this bar routine
I hear the bar squeak as my opponent performs ahead of me
I see the chalk soaring through the air as vaporous powder
I want to accomplish this routine solid and sturdy
I am becoming more confident
I imagine I am soaring throughout my routine, like the chalk around me through the air
I feel as if I will be able to pull it off
I make contact with the chalky bar and begin
I worry that my toes will hit the low bar as I swing through for each giant
I dismount with grace as I end up doing very well
I understand that a few mistakes were made
I say to myself I am a champion because of my effort
I dream of becoming an Olympic gymnast in effort to keep a positive attitude
I try to carry out perfect routines on the rest of the events
I do very well throughout the meet
I hope the largest podium is mine even though it is my friends I am up against
I am a first place gymnast
