Perfect 10
-Bailey Stanfield
A girl flying through the
air,
Strong hands gripping the bar -
My body twisting, jumping,
leaping, falling.
Gymnastics is my life.
Soaring through the air like
an eagle,
Twisting like a tornado -
Like a ballerina
Under pressure.
Perfect Ten!
The Olympics, my lifelong
dream, is amazing;
Dreaming every night of what
can become of me -
The circling world around me,
blinding me.
Finishing this race would be
remarkable -
Finding out who I really am,
Fighting through the pain.
