cheerleading in a different perspective

When you think of cheerleading, what comes to mind? Pom poms? Short skirts? Preppy? Yes, all of those things are what we cheerleaders do, but its not who we are. We are people who work hard and strive to be the best. We motivate the basketball and football teams. We also scream and cheer at the top our lungs at pep rallies. We do everything that we possibly can to promote spread spirit throughout our school.
The majority of high school students think cheerleading is nothing and it's just a waste of space in the yearbook, but they really have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. We tumble, stunt, and do our best to perform well and bring home a trophy from competitions to make our school proud. So when you think about cheerleading, what should come to your mind? Hardworking athletes who are peppy and filled with a prodigious amount of spirit.

What happens when reality takes place?

Racing raindrops
fast falling tears
beautiful disasters
loose loving fears

Broken desires
weary eyes
frozen dreams
realism dies

Bottled-up anger
hidden confusion
fading hope
erased illusion

scratched love
bleeding hearts
welcomed hatred
admire parts

piling worries
empty expression
unfriendly feelings
vanished succession

Running in a field of daisies

skip, gallop, run
daisies dancing in the sun
laugh, grow, play
daisies please don't fade away
smiles, laughter, tears
daisies let go of all your fears
clouds, stars, sky
daisies leap and fly
believe, sleep, dream
daisies don't rip at the seam
love, hate, confusion
daisies create an illusion
want, need, desire
daisies please admire
thunder, lighting, rain
daisies please vanish the pain
faith, trust, regret
daisies please don't fret
jump, hop, dive
daisies come alive
