My skate

The feeling when you glide onto the fresh ice, 

As my music starts playing slow and nice, 

In my bedazzled dress which makes me guess.

 

Will I land the jump?

As I land my axel and jump

around three sixty, I feel relieved 

but upset it was bobbled.

 

As I get ready for my camel spin, 

I take a deep breath and pull in, 

I can feel myself centered but starting to fall,

Luckily recovering and covering.

 

My competitors nervous but my coach even more,

For this was a risky program, I’ve landed before,

 but didn’t know if I could do it again. 

As I get ready for a double salchow,

I closed my eyes and hoped for the best, I landed it. 

 

It was not the best, since the levels were skipped 

But I was proud enough. Definitely not perfect skate,

Even so I can state, I came in second place.
