head held high, dancing to the beat
oblivion, stuck in your own melody.
closed eyes, not a whisper to be heard.
silence the companion of the wilful and bold-
bravery pictured in total silence
tiptoes as light as a feather, graceful steps
feet skimming across the rocks
basking in the glory of achievement
goosebumps trickling down your arms
shadows hung over the finish line.
one goal for all,
one narrow lane to whiz through
can you do it? can they do it?
silent tears falling like diamonds,
dropping one by one.
head screwed on tight, can't mess up the moment.
distractions thrown aside, eyes fixed ahead.
the minds an empty bubble, a floating cloud
frantic feet pounding past,
you can feel your strength.
adrenaline pumping through your veins,
the scenes changed, you're not there
disorientated mind, where's the ground?
bodies swaying to a beat you can't hear
trapped in another dimension
what happened to us?
