Color Walk Poem

Blue Jump Rope Handles

every year in early November,
morning workouts start.
this means waking up at five in the morning.
throwing on shorts and a t-shirt,
with sweatpants over them,
because it's too cold to walk outside otherwise.

morning workouts means starting everyday
with a coach yelling at you.
but it's worth it.
because after months of waking up early
and pain, sweat, and occasionally blood,
the results show.

when you walk out on the field for the first time come March,
you can feel the improvements you've made.
and all those early mornings feel worth it.
all the hard work pays off.
