Ice Skate

Ice Skate

Axel Albarran


This is my girlfriend

She looks happy without a care in the world

She is glad to be with me and all of her friends

She is also a way better skater than me

She is an Olympic gold medalist

As she shreds the ice


Here I am

I am not that happy that we went ice skating

I cannot ice skate at all

It’s as if I was a toddler learning how to walk

For the very first time falling all over the place


My girlfriend would laugh when I’d fall

Her face would be filled with laughter

But that didn’t stop me

I would keep falling until I got it

But not after I had fallen on my ass 100 times

She offers her help

But I refuse

I want to learn on my own


This is me

I’ve been falling a lot

So my body is sore like I just got hit by a car

But it was all worth it

All the pain, all the frustration

As now I can skate

With my girl
