The cheer tryouts are soon
I am so nervous, yet I will
stand strong

My schedule is filled
I don’t know how I’m going to sleep
The cheer tryouts are soon
I’m not as nervous, I believe I will make it

The practice is too hard
I know that I’m not going to make it far
The cheer tryouts are soon
I’m not going to make the team, I’m sure

It’s time for the mock tryouts
This is intense–so much pressure
The real tryouts are soon
I’m doubting myself if this is a good idea
I’m not going to make it, I’m sure

Today is the day, that I will fail
So many thoughts running through my head,
mocking me for who I want to be
making me stumble onto the stage
It’s my turn, I’m second
I feel I did horribly

The day passed, I will find out how I did
I told my mom not to expect much
that I will be a disappointment
Then we got the results

The air is full of suspense, making the oxygen dense,
I can hardly breathe
I don’t know whether I made it or not
We opened the envelope
I can’t believe it, I passed the cheer tryouts

I guess I can’t doubt myself
after all
I guess I can’t bring myself down because of insecurities
because of insecurities

So never doubt yourself
because of challenges you face
Never bring yourself down
because of your insecurities

Because no one
is perfect
So be the best version of you
that you can be.
