Alive


She shivered with anticipation As she impatiently stood alert Expecting the piercing sound of the gun. But, no matter how soon she thought it was going to go off, She was always surprised When it caught her off guard. Acting in a split second, She exploded out of the heavy blocks Lightweight purple baton in hand, This was what she lived for.
