Short Ball Up Poems

There's a bright yellow ball up in the sky
Can someone help me, I'm quite mystified

She calls my name.

Trembling, unsure I try to touch her.

My hands upon her as she tells my song.

But she resists.

I ball up my heart and hands.

Listen to me she says.

This is not about you, it is about us.

Don’t touch me, join me.

I fake a smile 
So no one sees
The hurt and pain 
That’s killing me
Theres no one to tell 
No one to confide
I think I’ll just stay here
Ball up and hide


Thin 
Close to breaking
Fading smiles
I’m faking
They begin to crack
And underneath
My fear 
And silent 
Screaming teeth


Demons 
Under the fasade of me
Shadows
In the heart of me
The pain is mine
Slowly it kills
I just want to stay here 
And be really still...

Click-clack the sound of the ref’s shoes hit the floor 
Tick-tock the clock starts 
The coach closes the swinging door
The team parts 
With the starters on the court
The crowd ceases to chatter
The team claps in support
For the team and the game that matter
Players slammed the ball down 
And hit the ball up in the air
Not one girl had a frown 
Never had there 
been more effort for that win 
wows and yays erupted from all 
Everyone had a grin 
For the game they would always recall...
