You Are Poem

You are confident and talented
You wonder about the net
You hear the squeek of your sneekers against the court
You see the orange sphere flying from your hands

You want the fans screaming your name
You are confident and talented

You pretend your at half court, going for the shot with three seconds on the clock and your down by two.
You feel the atmosphere change
You touch the ball with your lips and shoot
You worry you'll miss
You cry when you do
You are confident and talented

You understand it's just a game but it's more to you
You say you'll get it next time
You dream of your name on the back of your favorite teams jersey
You try to practice hard
You hope you win the game
You are confident and talented.
