26. A Poem: Rush

Choice

10, 9, 8…

in my hands lie the team’s fate.

suffocated by my ceaseless panting

and a responsibility I’m not capable of handling.

 

7 seconds left on the clock,

I’m hindered by shock.

too many commands,

too many hopes in the stands.

 

A sudden rush of adrenaline

impeded me to imagine

the right move against our rival

that will seek approval.

 

pass? shoot? dribble?

every move is possible

of devastating the team’s dream

of dimming the team’s gleam.

 

Similar to the reality we have to upstand,

sometimes we win and

sometimes we lose,

we don’t get to choose.

 

Sometimes a little luck is needed,

and setbacks cannot be evaded.

Not everyone we can please,

but never let it lose your ease.
