Sestina !

BAM the sound of your feet hitting the blue mat
at the end of a tumbling pass.Sweat Determination
and a few bruises along the way.Cheering
words that don’t even come close to explaining this sport.
Only certain people have the strength
and hard work learning capability.

Most people think that it has nothing to do with capability.
Using facials , fiercely to get a higher score on that blue mat.
to have nothing but pure dedication and strength
and to win you have to have determination
when your breaks a little when people say its not a sport
this is what it is to be dedicated to cheering

For me I would do anything for cheering
its not just capability
its the love for the sport
I love the sound of the way the blue mat
looks all clean and ready to go with all the determination
the girls lined up on the side have and to see the capability

I doubt you have the strength
to do what a cheerleader does to even do cheering
we live and love what we do with determination
and our goals set high for capability
when it comes time to compete we leave it all on the blue mat
and it’s all because we live and love everything about this sport.

Now of course there are people who love to argue about it being a sport
but they don’t know the ugly side to cheering the building of strength
behind the smiles you see when we step on the blue mat
behind the showcase cheering
is a team that has struggled to get the capability
to compete at a higher level then the year before with more determination

With teams that come into the competition with determination
to prove they are they best to prove there love for the sport
to prove their teams capability
to prove that it’s not just looks it’s strength
to us it’s so much more we don’t just label it cheering
we label it with our lives our love for putting it all out on the blue mat.

With all my time spent on the blue mat
I have seen determination
through sweat and tears we still come out cheering
when people say it’s not a sport
we prove them wrong with our strength
and with the love and passion I have seen capability
