Rope climbers


written at 13

As hard as i try
I couldn't always climb the rope

YOU DID IT LAST TIME

I don't feel very well

The pointer
Means GO NOW

I can't do it today
I always had pains i couldn't explain
As i grew to the age of 13 i realized it was muscle aches
My teachers were having non of it

They were killing me
I am no
Javeed
Or Shaheeda
Or Melina
Who were experts

The averages

Kelina
Mayd
Rizq
Rizwaan
Imran
Shaloum

The others

Melissa
Venisa
Samira
Elham
Miriam
Aysha
Ahmed
Mubeen
Yaseen
Yusuf
Khadir

Then there was me

STUCK ALL THE TIME
DANGLING Saliva
Begging
Screaming
Pleading

I can't do it
I was just a loser
In everything i tried
Except
My poetry
It was the only thing that saved me
If i didn't write i'd be insane
At 13 years old

Its been a good couple of years
I will never be a good rope climber
I might do it once
Then never again
Its impossible
God will help me
Someday i will CLIMB THE ROPE
FOREVER I HOPE
