NVN Friday: THE COMEBACK KID
by Marshall Begel
Figure skater Alysa Liu, seen here at the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, is to come out of retirement and return to competition.

The years since my retirement Have left me unfulfilled— Not meeting the requirement For one uniquely skilled. My body's manifested change Since I was in my prime. Returning to a decent range Would be an uphill climb. But I will muster up support— Ambition? I have plenty. But time to shine is running short, For soon, I'm turning twenty!
