I Am Martial Arts

I am Mariah Moore,

But I am my Martial Arts,
The discipline,
The respect,
And the honor

I am all the tears shed,
All the broken bones,
Blood on my uniform,
And bruises on my body.

I am the first karate class,
Nervous as could be.

I am the First 1st place trophy,
That led me to peruse my dreams.

I am the feeling of winning the World Championships
On top of the world,

where no one could bring me down

I am Mariah Moore,
But,
I am Martial Arts too.
