Excellence Award in the 'Step Write Up 2011' competition

A thousand above
a thousand below
me in-between
and one way to go.
A rock in my left
a rock in my right
I swing to another
and continue the fight.
Left to right
and back again
I push on up
through the pain.
With every lunge
I seek to gain
the next new height
with glory and fame.
