Breakout

My palms are sweaty My heart heart is pumping out of my chest Focus My horse is antsy I can feel her every muscle twitch Her heart feels like its about to pump out of her chest For a moment we become one Horse and Rider One mission One dream We step in the box I take a deep breath Its on One dream Blood, sweat, and the occasional tear For this one moment I nod My horse powers out at a dead sprint She doesn't have to run for long I see my shot One, Two, Throw!!!! Pull slack The power of my horse comes to a stop My heart is pumping out of my chest Slow motion as the rope pops of my horn Relief as my horse and I Relax I pat her as I listen for the time of my last breakaway run of my high school career "2.4!!" Happiness floods over me Until "Speeding ticket!!!" No! a 2.4 second run turns into a 12.4 A broken barrier A Breakout is the difference between a dream... And a Broken Dream
