I am Athletic and Proud
I wonder why I don't know you
I hear you from a distance
I see you from afar
I want to play with you
I am Athletic and Proud

I pretend I am in the Olympics
I feel the adrenaline through my veins
I touch the trophy; happy and proud
I worry that I won't win it
I cry when I lose
I am Athletic and Proud

I understand that you can't win all the time
I say I go this, push harder
I dream that I'll be successful
I try to be less social
I hope I'll find the people and motivation I need
I am Athletic and Proud
