Dear red boy,
I didn't know what to think of you until I met you,
I thought the rudest of you,
I thought that because you were way older we couldn't fall in love,
I fell in love with you from a distance,
Am I proud to be a Bulldog?
I always used to be.
Am I proud of how my school values sports
Over academics?
No.
Am I proud of how no one cares about the success of
Our music department
I refuse to accept
"I can't."
Those two words are the same as
"I won't." and "I quit."
There are no quitters.
There is only
"I can." and "I will."
"I quit." is a joke.
Fwooosh,
Into the net,
Goalie’s fingers’ fumble for it,
Miss,
Cheering,
Shouting,
Victory.
School.
Announcements,
Congratulations,
Teachers smile,
Of eight sisters, I am the second.
Though dissimilar in stature and mannerisms,
We are closely connected.
Mama is the leader of the household.
Lilliputian in size, but lively and loud,
a team has no i in it
each player plays a part in the sport,
if one is single, go sit
everyone shares the court
if you're gonna start drama,
might as well make yourself comfy on the bench
