Up on the blocks bend over Pull back I imagine myself in the water Swim fast Don’t be scared Swimming for five years and yet I still worry That I will drown Get sick Or just go slow My Mom doesn’t care how I do She just cares that I love the sport But if she doesn’t care Then why do I Why do I care if I go slow I’m only fourteen I’m not joining the Olympics This is only a small swim meet Assess the other team They look fast But so am I I forget that I am one of the fastest on the team Every Single Time. I may not look the part but I sure do play the part Beep!! Now I’m in the water Already ahead Why was I scared? I was made for this!
