Our Voice 8

by Scot McAtee

Max Bottoms

  I feel the cold nervous sensation

  I feel it because I’m at the starting gate in the Olympics

  I made it

  I worked and now I’m here

  But ‘m not done yet

  For I have not finished

  In a quick matter I get the green light

  We’re off in a quick speed

  Zigging and zagging around obstacles

  I get more and more tired

  But I will not quit

  For I have made

  I win not quit

  Now I hear the crowd

  Knees now shaking

  As I cross the finish line I crash receiving first place

  I’m greeted by my teammate

  I’ve done it, I won
