This short poem is a change to Maya Angelou's "Phenomenal Woman" poem. |
Phenomenal Athlete Often players doubt me when they see my size. I’m not the perfect athlete they picture in their eyes. When it’s all said and done, though, It’s not the outcome they surmised. I prove, My energy’s unyielding My strength’s well at hand, I focus on the ending goal, With determination, strong, I stand. I’m an athlete Phenomenally. Phenomenal athlete, Yes, that’s me. I view the foes around me Teammates by me side, We forge ahead, In silence Ready for the ride. Chaos swarms around me, There’s no place I’d rather be. I prove, Taking on each challenge, Accepting and with ease, There’s not a single soul, I don’t try to please. I’m an athlete Phenomenally. Phenomenal athlete, Yes, that’s me. Coaches often wonder Just how I came to be. They see my height An obstacle But my true desire guides me. They struggle with the concept How the impossible has come to be. I prove, With agility and precision, Fast reflexes at my side, I focus on the end result, In each and every stride. I’m an athlete Phenomenally. Phenomenal athlete, Yes, that’s me. It’s obvious to see Potential lies within. I don’t have to brag or boast It’s not popularity I need to win. Those only out for glory Strive only towards sin. I prove, It’s the attitude I take, But not the path that I chose, Both ways I reach the finish line, Whether I win or lose. ‘Because I’m an athlete Phenomenally. Phenomenal athlete, Yes, that’s me. |
