From a young athlete who previously “hated’ writing —
The loud noises in this place
Are cheers for us to get our pace
It is a race for swimmers
Pro, Amateur, even Beginners
A relaxed me is something you won’t find
Because only winning is on my mind
Even though the beat of my heart is trembling
Maybe because I’ll swim with a king
The reflection of light hits the floor
It is like lightning
That summons the king, Thor
What Am I Thinking?
Bubbles differ in size
To the surface they arise
SPLASH SPLISH SPLASH SPLISH
The noise swimmers hear when my speed I unleash
I sometimes hate swim time
‘Cause I look like an underwater mime
But sometimes I wonder
Maybe there are gold bars under
The place where we are swimming
Maybe tomorrow I will start digging
The feeling of being a champion
Will not be just imagination
I can always break the record
With a big hand from the Lord
