Derby Dreams

Around and around in circles they go
Speed, agility, endurance their style
Two minutes, they seem to skate for a mile
Floor is location of their feeble foe

Fear is what their enemies tend to show
From bench, exhaustion takes breath for a while
From top, they dominate this floor of tile
Victorious score at the final blow

To be like my idols out on the floor
The dream of many caught only by some
Success is only as far as it seems

I take steps through opportunity's door
To see my great success, many will come
Like my idols I will fulfill my dreams

Like I said in the description, I wrote this for a class, Themes of Lit, and absolutely loved it. According to my teacher, I'm quite skilled at writing poetry.
