Athletic Woman


I am... Who they said I couldn't be An underestimated athlete With one goal and one dream in her mind They said my efforts were a waste of time Now the game has changed And what it looks as, is not what it seems Was trying to be the "I" that never appears in team Now the athlete that makes the bleachers shout and scream The one with the drive, the pride, the girl with her eyes on the prize The girl that will always put on a fight Taking her skill level to an unmeasurable height Lifting weights to be stronger than any girl or guy The one they said would never grow wings in hopes to fly But who am I I am the one with her head up high Because I accomplished what they said couldn't be done Now they look to me, preaching I am the "one"
