I will leave this room
I will step into the unknown
The grass plush beneth my feet
Kicking the ball
to the beat of my heart
The kick off whistle blows
I start to sweat
I stand in the same spot
as the men and the women before me
who have conquored this field
This moment is pure bliss
Yet I am nervous as hell
The bright sun beats down upon me
like a million rays watching me, judging me
As soon as I kick the ball
I am free
I am unstoppable
I am my own hero
"I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul (invictus)"
