I am ready

"I'm ready"....this I told my self as I stepped onto the field.

Fear in my mouth ,sweat in my eyes.

I tried to pull it all together but I was tearing apart inside.

"I'm ready" I said in my head again as I touched the line.

Dust in my hand,my feet's crushed the sand

My future in front of my eyes , but blurred

As I heard the shot I took to my heels

Sprinted with every fibre in me

No goal at that moment was greater that the one in front.

Feeling the wind passing bye my ears I gained confidence

As my chest tore the line I exploded

With joy and happiness.

I was ready
