In the Stadium

by reminiscent-afterthought

It is like waiting for judgement, that voice that will say you're ready to take that next step towards your dream.

In the Stadium

I'm standing there, in the stadium
and my beating heart starts again,
thumping, excited, for this –
this fight that will decide
my place in this world:
whether I am
ready for
the next
step.
