The Final Push

By Nadia Rivas

I hear my heart beat

As I take another leap

My legs are heavy and sore

I feel like I look like a bore

I see the end

I just have to push

I almost slipped and fell on my tush

I hear the cheers. 

The crowd grows louder

I’m getting prouder. 

I finished. 

Out of air 

I look around and stare

I really did that?

I’m not in the mood for chitchat

Hungry and sweaty 

I want to be in bed all cozy
