The Game

Here you go, Everything I have. I give you my heart, My sweat, blood, and tears. I run, jump, dive, Sacrifice my body, health, and time Rain or shine, I’m out there. I don’t want to be. But this game, It’s part of me. Day after day, The game beats me down. Kicking mud in my face Destroying my confidence But I refuse to stay down, To give up, to fail. No instead I push harder Run that extra sprint, Stay that extra twenty minutes. Knowing that come game time, I will rise to the top. I will be the winner. I will defeat the game.
