Shattered Dreams

Title: Shattered Dreams

In the realm of swimming, a star emerged,
A teen with potential, his dreams delicately purged.
But alas, his career now hangs in the balance,
Accused of a transgression, his spirit feels a strangle.

The pool once his haven, now feels like quicksand,
His promising future slipping through his hand.
That fateful day, when teammate’s back he did tap,
A gesture, innocuous, now a cruel thunderclap.

Whispers and rumors fill the locker room air,
As judgment and doubt nibble away at his flair.
He yearns for redemption, a chance to prove his worth,
But shadows of accusation cloud his self-rebirth.

His days are now marked by anguish and despair,
Haunted by the accusation, feeling stripped and bare.
Yet amidst the turmoil, shines a flicker of hope,
A flicker that tomorrow may help him cope.

In the depths of his heart, determination ignites,
To silence the doubts and reclaim his rights.
For swimming remains his passion, his soul’s truest call,
To rise above the accusations, prove himself once more.
