Dedication

by Brittany C   Sep 21, 2006


You train your body for the upcoming pain,
for it will surly come sooner or later.
You get kicked every day
always told to keep pushing.

Burning pain in your legs
tells you that your doing just that.
You are in pain for many days at a time,
but you don't get a chance to truly rest.

You get pushed and pulled,
This way and that,
you may even get a bruise or two,
That is pretty much granted.

You look to the pressure.
From your team and coaches.
To give you the strengths needed to keep going,
You get down on yourself when you make a mistake,

But you keep going,
When you get knocked down,
You roll right out of it,
You hope to leave your impression on the field.

    Again, another good piece,
    My suggestions are that you keep writing, and every piece you write, make it stand out, too many cliche words and ideas, otherwise, pretty good.
    Flowed okay and emotion was okay too
    love

    "This way,
    And that,"
    ^ That sorta threw off the flow.. Maybe if you tried.. This way And That way, instead.

    Other than that another great poem. I don't think it was your best, but it was decent. Keep it up, hun.
