Backflip

I’m nervous with my knees bent hearing the crowd of my
friends chanting
“Tayveon , Tayveon.”
I feel my blood rushing through my arms

The wind starts to blow and I get goosebumps.
I had to take off my jacket and my shoes because they were
uncomfortable and i’ve never done a backflip with them on

One of my friends yelled “hurry up.” I do a test to warm up by bending my back. I think to myself that I’m ready. My feet lift off the floor and it was probably the longest
2 seconds of my life

As I flip back I can see the bare tree in this wintertime
Once I landed every person screamed and it kinda hurt my ears
