I nailed my bar routine today
and he actually said the word
“Wow”
even though he followed it up with
“If you had done it that well
at state you would have placed.”

oh well

I still hate the beam
and the Arabian
and the flight series

I wish I could just skip beam
but I know the more nervous
I get about it
the worse I’m going to do on it
so I try to
stay positive
stay focused

but it’s days in the gym
like this
that make me wonder
what I could do
if I just worked
a little
or even a lot
harder

maybe I could
even make it to
nationals
