The end and begging meet
closing the door of another school year opening to a fresh start.
Walking into a new world
With old friends pushing my limits and other expectations.
Going out on a limb to discover a place I enjoy.

It's over and yet here's the beginning again.
Stepping out, stepping up,
being judged by my grueling
peers... teachers... my mom.
One man stunts...
Check total success!
Second stunt... can I get her up
Oh yeah! But wait...
We have to do it again.
Success Second time around by the whole squad
Yes, I will continue
to prove that I am who I am.
Just wait around till
the next time around
6'2", male, Cheerleader.

Congruently doing what I know
and yet still developing new skills and talents.
Letting me prove to those who doubt my abilities
that I am
a force to be recon with.
Yet there is no perfection here
only growth.

Coming to an end
yet things keep changing and moving.
Being adaptable and dealing with
decisions that are not my own.
But I am a force.
"Second best ever seen"
is what was told to the audience about my pig.
Then its my goat's turn. Out did
those who I desired to beat.
And with my self
"Smooth"
"Makes this hard work look easy"
Is what the judge said
Out beating the competitors,
Out beating those who claim t be better Pride, accomplishment and respect
