Killthepad w12 - Persistence
Killthepad week 12 is here and the topic is Persistence. Must admit at first I was lost on what to write, but I watched a touching YouTube video of an old man who used to be an athlete and it inspired the piece.

I remember my first pair of running shoes,
Twas in school,
Inter house sports, looked dope and I just thought it cool,
In mock races, I won the guys
PE teacher said I should represent the form with pride
Race was quick, I don't remember how it started
Seemed like I zoned out and just got distracted
Didn't move till I saw others in front of me
Autopilot, my body took off on me
It was over in seconds.
Had sober reflections
Came 5th place and left with a cold ass depression
But my best friend wouldnt have it
Already looking past it, he said "you need practice"
So I set to train myself
Strain myself
The next platform I got I would stage myself!
Muscle tears, couple fears I still braced myself
When other runners mocked me, I would praise myself.
I could feel the hard stress
Fitness work I did regardless
While teammates enjoyed drinking and flexed
I was on the track hitting targets
Competition came in the cold winter
Big news, a scholarship for the gold winner
It was everything I hoped, bigger
Fire in my eyes as I told sister
Ready, Set, Go!
Wind whistling as my feet quickening
Swift leading, they fell behind like kid siblings
The breathing deep as I Sprint with every thing in me
Thoughts of the team lifting me as I bring victory
Oh sweet victory, finish line crossed with glee
The euphoria, Head official raised my hand for the win

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
