My First Game
Sitting next to my window looking forward
to a slight of breeze,
Watching the little birds flying
around the big tall trees
Had to live without air conditioning for a week
going day by day with my stuffed animals playing hide and go seek
My fellow companions and I have joined
a baseball team for the summer
now my entire summer is filled with practices;
what a huge bummer.
Six weeks of practices and one day of game
man, my team went through a lot of pain.
Our first Game has begun
it’s time to show the world what we have become
thirty minutes into the game
and the crowd still acts the same
feeling little rain drops running down my face
or is it just sweat?
Every second the rain gets heavier and heavier
hearing my teammates saying “is this weather gonna get any better”
My first game has been cancelled, how great.
I can see the audience rushing to the gate,
The looks on my teammates’ face
while they were staring into blank space
Today really wasn’t all that great.
