Knight in the Making

My sister, the storm, the fire, the flame,

Ten trials ahead in this torturous game.

Each pedal a promise, each sweat bead a song,

Of courage that’s fierce and a will that is strong.

Butter may sound gentle, but I know it’s a trick—

It’ll churn up your legs, it’ll come at you quick.

Then The Chores, relentless, with no end in sight,

You’ll clean up that pain with pure power and fight.

Attacker awaits, with its ruthless intent,

But your spirit won’t break, only flex, never bent.

Into A Very Dark Place, you might start to descend,

But your light is within you—it won’t let you end.

Power Station surges—your lungs scream and burn,

But this isn’t defeat, it’s the tide you will turn.

Then The Omnium, chaos—sprints, wooden tracks, and pain,

Yet still you will ride through the turns and the grain.

The Wretched will claw, whisper “quit” in your ear,

But I know your heart, and it lives without fear.

When you Rue the Day, with legs barely alive,

Just remember who you are, and push through to survive.

The Best Thing in the World? It’s not just the ride,

It’s your fire, your grit, with me there at your side.

Then Do As You’re Told—no, do what you choose:

To fight, to persist, and refuse just to lose.

You’re not made of softness, you’re forged out of steel,

A sister, a warrior, a spinning wheel.

Each ride is a battle, each finish a crown—

And soon, my brave knight, they’ll have to bow down.

So ride, my dear sister, and suffer with grace—

Your knighthood is waiting. Go take your place.
