Athlete

What is it about a sport that makes you shine,
is it the rush you get when the game is on the line?

maybe when the coach puts the team on you shoulders,
and you don't mind the weight you could lift boulders.

could it be the obsessive love for a flawless win,
or hating to lose so much you feel it's a sin?

to prove to your critics you can still play,
or the need for accomplishment at the end of the day?

REMEMBER IT'S NOT WHY OR HOW YOU PLAY, WHETHER FOR FUN OR FAME,

JUST KNOW YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A CHAMPION,
IF YOU HAVE LOVE FOR THE GAME.
