Blindness

My blindness leads me to define my ignorance.
The feeling of a young refugee fleeing to escape danger from one's own hell and confusion.
Caught in a storm...
Rushing emotions,
Thunder like anger,
Clouds of in denial.
Free me from this hell...
My ignorance lacks knowledge, which leads to my decline of sophistication as well as intelligence.
My down fall...
My ignorance
The betrayal of one's self that defines who we are as human beans .
Our Blindness

To Prepare and Motivate One's Self

They ask me,"Miss Turner, what is that you do to prepare and motivate yourself before your events as an athlete?"
I simply say this,
"A cup of tea to calm my nerves and smooth music.
I imagine what I want to happen on the runway,
Breaking it down piece by piece.
How I can make it happen.
I then replay it over in my head
But not to much to overwhelm myself and take me out of my zone.
Top if off with a good night's sleep.
Waking wake up the next morning not having a care int he world.
Do my warm ups until game time...
When I step onto that run way,
I clear my mind of all distractions, as well as people...
As if I am the only competing athlete in the arena.
I then...

Just do it..."
