It was just another competition for everyone,
But for me, a life depending one
I had given my best
But my opponent was overpowering me
The world around me was spinning
Being a world champion wasn’t easy
I tried. I tried. I tried.
But nothing worked
My opponent was gaining
I left the light of hope, slowly diminishing
As the darkness grew
I felt I climbed the highest mountain only to start falling before I reached the peak
I felt I had almost reached the end of the river only to start drowning in worry
I felt the life slowly going out of me
Thousands of people were glued to their seats
I had lost my hope completely
Until I heard one word
One word which was echoing among the whole stadium now
My name. My beautiful name.
Gifted to me by my amazingly wonderful parents
Christened to me by my supportive relatives
Plagiarized by my super adorable sister
Addressed by lovely friends
My name. My beautiful name.
Like a dying man, energized back to life
Like a climber falling to suddenly climb and reach the peak
Like a swimmer drowning in the river, getting a boost of energy to swim the last stride
I felt my life coming back to me again
My name. My beautiful name.
Saved the day once again. Saved the day once again.
