This one is obviously just for gymnasts
The Athlete and the Audience
You dance like no one's watching,
Even though you know they are.
You know you're smile's fake,
Yet from know ing this they're far.
You're doing lots of tricks; while playing some too,
But they don't seem to mind; they wouldn't dare to boo.
You're being a show off, usually despised,
Yet they paid money, just to see your prize.
You were getting nervous,
And were positive the y saw,
Yet as you saw them watching you,
You could tell they found no flaw.
As you were twisting, turning, flying,
They could not see how hard you were trying.
As you were gliding around the bar,
They were close, yet so far.
As you kept your balance on the beam, and looked so very poised,
They could not make a single noise.
As you picked up all that speed, and flew to unknown heights,
They cheered so loudly, just as you like.
You stuck all your landings and hit all your routines.
They sat, then stood, and never missed a beat.
You slid into your sweats,
And became one of them.
Then sat and watched your friend,
And saw it start again.
I'll just post one at a time, b/c some are a little on the long side. Hope you enjoy them!
