Not One 1st Place Winner by Avery Kroll By definition it is to rise Create a level field Stare down in the eyes The words and things they say Ascending spirits The cry to fight Today I become Today I fly On repeat within our minds Muster inner strength where it may hide Reignite some burning pride
While the words that are spoken hold some truth Do not listen they are broken Not unlike me and you To conquer the impossible Must one be greater than that they face greater than our humanity
