The List
by Allie
It was my first
year trying out
for my schools Cheerleading squad.
Surrounded by these Cheerleaders,
I felt out of place and odd.
I learned the dance,
I learned the chant
And I learned how to cheer.
I practiced it over and again;
I overcame my fear.
In front of a panel
of judges
I solely gave my all.
I felt like I was flying,
I hoped I wouldn't fall.
and then the list
was posted
of the people who would win.
I wanted it so badly,
I wanted to be in!
I quickly looked
at this paper
and barely took a glance.
Then I searched right through it,
praying for a chance.
A bullet shot right
through me
My eyes began to stare.
And on the list I clearly saw,
that my name was not there.
If it doesn't kill
you, it makes you strong;
a wise man had once said.
but reading that list, without my name,
I just about felt dead.
*Note: Allie wrote this poem last year after tryouts. She tried out again this year and made it on the Varsity squad. Special thanks to Allie for submitting this poem. Do you have a story or poem you'd like featured? Submit it here.
