I am Extreme


I started out wanting to be normal And to be stereo typically good But then after failing at that The things “I would” became “I could” I thought I knew But I didn’t make the team So I looked for something new I looked to the extreme I shredded the streets and slopes Road the mountain single track Excelled beyond my hopes Nothing could scare me back I asked about the election People thought it was out of my reach But winning despite any objection I campaigned and gave that speech They thought I was a joke That it was just a distant dream But they didn’t say that anymore When I played as a first time junior on the varsity team In my short life The very present theme Something I plan to continue Is to go for the extreme
