Another Day On the Ice

Back to the rink again today to face my fear once more, hoping for a better day I feel nervous to the core. Take my time putting on my skates lacing them up nice and slow, tightening them around my ankles, peeking at the ice as I go. The rink seems extremely cold it just might be my nerves, trying to face my fear again looking down at the slippery curves. I step on out to the ice looking down at my feet, hoping I won't fall again today railing and my hand once again meet. No music to listen to 'round and 'round in circles I go, it'd keep my mind off my fear watching people skate to and fro. It makes me extremely nervous when skaters fly past me, wishing I was much better I'd be filled with glee. I have to face my fear whether I like it or not, I want to be a good skater again have to take every chance I've got.
