The crowd roaring
Our hearts pounding
Our hard work has payed off
The teams waiting for a trophy
To only win first
Is a dream
Hard to reach
Not impossible
But we made it
That`s why were winners
We put our hands on the mat
White sneakers
Hair up
Performing
The light beating on us
And were out of
Breath
Then we bare those
last two counts
and smile

What inspired this piece was that I do a lot of cheering and I was thinking about our competions and it started going off in my head

"To only win first Is a dream" Is awkwardly phrased, maybe a little editing would work. Also a lot of lines are really short and seem like incomplete thoughts.

You might benifit from multipul stanzas also some of your lines are a little short and don't make a lot of sense.
