Thump, thump
My heart?
My head?
Everything?
My heart is trying to escape
Yet the beginning hasn't sounded
I watch the ball
Such a insignificant object,
Yet so much power.
It moves,
Commanding twenty two people
The ball
It escaped the inner circle
The ball
It rises hopes and drops others
The ball
Is all I see
Watch The ball
Is all I can do
As it soars towards me
from the safety of the other side
Usually I am calm
Cool
Collected
As defense must be
Watching the field
Seeing all
Yet in this moment
The excitement and nervousness rushed to my heart as I sprint across the soggy grass
A swish
The swish
Sighs
cheers
3 whistles
The end
I walk off
defeated
Past the food
Away
All of the hugs
The "you did so good"'s
Make it worse
Because I didn't
They aren't honest to me...
