skating nowhere
why isn't skating the way it used to be?
why is there this apprehension everytime im at the rink?
why am i not as happy to skate as i used to be?
WHY???

skating used to be fun
i used to look forward to every session and lesson
begged my parents to let me go...
but where is all the spirit now???

It's not dat i hate skating...
in fact somewhere in me
i noe that i still love it
it's challenging,
and the sense of achievement one gets
when u land a jump or get a spin right is above the world.
so why am i so scared?

i seem to be getting no where.
it's been so long since im stuck at double toe
and the dbl sal's still so inconsistant after like a year
yeah...as one goes up the level,
guess it takes time...
used to be able to progress 2 levels,
even 3 in a year
but now, im not even confident of progressing 1 a year.
everytime i see the others, the younger ones
progressing ever so quickly
it's like how do they do it???
u can say im jealous...and frustrated,
but it's still not getting me anywhere.

the jumps seem so easy, technically
off ice, it's so easy to do a dbl toe
rotate so quickly and land
but on ice it's so different
i can't get that leg up,
can't rotate as fast as i used to
and simply dun believe that i can land it.

Worse, i had to fall and injure my knee
have no idea what's wrong with it...
but it hurts so terribly everytime i fall

i so wish i can get the dbl sal consistant
get the dbl toe and loop
i have done them before...
and even done them nicely.

Just hope skating would be fun once more
and i can go to the rink confidently everytime
knowing what can be achieved that day.
