Skipping

The beating of the rope
The thumping of my heart
I watch it whipping the floor
Hoping it doesn't ship me
Everybody telling me to go
My feet feel stuck to the floor
In my head I think
'One'
'Two'
'Three'
'GO'
I still don't move
'One'
'Two'
'Three'
'GO'
I run I jump
The rope's going underneath me
I jump
Jump
Jump
Jump
I'm on a roll
"10,11,12"
The voices in the background
Fading away
I stop on 15 and run out
The rope still spinning behind me.
