I am a Gymnast

I am a gymnast,
A gymnast I am,

My wings s p r e a d free,
I tumble, turn and feel such glee,

The competition of a lifetime came knocking on the door,
Eyes on me as we transition to floor,

Last pass awaits,
Practised, practised I have,
Yet have not stuck before,
Blood pumping in my ears,
I take a deep breath,

**Thump**

My feet land on the ocean blue floor,

Applause bursts from the audience,
Like the roar of a thousand drums,

Rows of faces on the shore,
Fixed on me,
The greatest women gymnast
Of the world.
