Football
Just like football i am..."
sitting in class working my tail off.
Practicing for hours
so, I can wear a letter on my arm.
The day of the game has come.
All my friends wish me luck.
King of the halls is what I've become.
I can hear the fans chanting my name.
Nauseous and scared I take the field.
Praying not to fumble the ball
I'll never live it down.
This is my time to shine for once.
Hands in the grass, ball in the dirt.
Stadium lights shining bright.
Take the field one last time.
As helmets collide and dirt is flung.
The ball is thrown and that’s down one.
With ball in hand I make a break,
running down the field, going all the way.
Touch down!
I won the game.
