The Athlete

On a racecourse,
 there's a race to reach an end.
 Someone's calling
 the decathlon athlete's name.
 Further focus
 on the discipline applied
 or through constant shifts of exercise.
 Quatre cents mètres,
 saut à la perche,
 mille cinq mètres,
 cent mètres,
 saut en hauteur,
 lancer du javelot,
 du poids
 et du disque,
 cent dix mètres haies,
 saut en longueur.
 There's a battle between the athlete and himself
 and between him
 and the people there to help.
 Their incentive
 is for the pressure to conceive
 the ignition of another level of reach.
 Do I want this?
 Do I want this in my life?
 Is it worth it?
 Worth the sacrifice?
