I Am

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
