Atop the podium,
Amidst them all.
I stood there,
As tall as my thin, shaky legs could carry me.
I saw the many eyes,
Staring at me.
And I caught sight of her eyes,
Boring straight into mine,
Telling me to believe in myself,
And begging me to hold it in.
I shut my eyes and pictured it,
Exactly what I wanted to be.
So when I flicked it open,
I knew I just had to be it.
I calmed myself and let it flow,
Keeping my head as high as I could.
And when I was done, I knew,
That whoever I had become,
Was the new version of me.
They were moved and wowed,
I nailed it, or so they said.
I again caught sight of her eyes,
This time filled with tears,
Those laced with happiness.
And with my eyes, I screamed,
I did it!
