Pump Pump, Fly
Amanda Castle Nov 2011
Stop that thought, yes breath.. deep.
In out; in out.
Over and over till the music sinks in and you feel your muscles beg for the burn.
Hands on hips, turn it up, pump it up, look up.
See the sky, now that's your limit.
Don't strive for more..
Don't strive for less..
Hit your target hard and fast
No not fast.. you need to fly.
Be light, there's no if ands or buts about it.
JUST DO IT
Tense up, fire up, look up.
See your limit and break it.
The music gets pulled but the beat pulses in your head, wait, that's your blood.
It's boiling.
Heart pounding.
Nerves over flowing.
Once more you think, no stop that..
Just do.
No thought.
Just Run...
BANG!
Pump.. pump..fly..away you go
Don't look just go.
Up up up and away..
You hear nothing
Feel nothing
See nothing
Only the target
Burn, breath, burn, breath
In out; in out.
Break the barrier and soar past it
The blurry figures slow and the target is gone.
Behind you now, your chest heaves for cold clean air.
You're done for now
Turn to watch the others finish.
Plugged back in, you breath heavy
Silently you think that thought again....
'I have to do better.. I should have done better..'
Stop that thought, yes breath.. deep.....

Big breath and a Smile
Amanda Castle Feb 2012
We aren't friends anymore.
Is that okay with you?
I know it may come as a shock,
but it's completely true.
It was't something that you said,
But none the less this friendship's dead.

Did you know we aren't friends anymore?
and there's nothing you can do?
They say it's all in my brain
it seems to think we no longer need you.
There's ways to fix it
they tell me,
But for the first time I kind of feel free.

Yeah we aren't friends anymore,
but that's okay with us.
I think I'll be happier now
so what's all the fuss?

For the Shooting Stars
Amanda Castle Mar 2012
There was a lot you missed
and a lot I never said out loud

My tongue was caught
while my smile rested in the clouds

you were there

waiting for me

nothing happened

which is the way to should be

Maybe the day will arrive

That we should shed tears and cry

but for now smile

Laugh

Love and fear

Because the time will come, that we'll no longer be here

Don't Count
Amanda Castle Jan 2014
Don't fight back.
Take the punches
hit the ground hard.

We hurt and fall down.
After a few seconds of your life flashing by
Take a deep breath and get back up.

Sometimes they're not worth it...
If that's the case walk away.
Lose the battle.
But fight like hell when it comes to the war.

The one that rages
Inside everyone
We may fight alone
But we have a unite front.

Remember the beauty while you're in the thick of it
Look up.
Take it all in.
Maybe let a smile slide across your bruised face.

Let the light in.
Let the bad go.
And be ready for anything.

— The End —
