Trophies

You are what you make yourself

Not the trophies on your shelf.

You can only hit as hard as your fists can fly,

Nobody really has the answers to the why.

You can make it, but do it on your own.

Go on, get out; but leave your doubt at home.

You can run just as far as your feet will go.

How far is that? Hell, we don’t really know.

You have to keep going ‘till the buzzer sounds

And know that after you still have a few more rounds;

You have to feel the sweat leak down your brow

And keep going even if you don’t know how.

One more lap, just one more shot

Still trying to find how to hit the sweet spot -

Five hole is nothing new, hit it in the top shelf

But its the shot you have to take all by yourself.

I can take you down to the water son,

But you have to drink, my time is all but done.

You have to look inside to know the fight

'Cause no one else is able to tell you what’s right.

So as you stand on swollen feet

Start again and never accept defeat.

It’s the end justifies the means they say

But you keep your head up, win your way.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take -Wayne Gretzky

An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head. - Emil Zatopek
