Pressure

A tied game.
Seconds left.
With the knowledge of this,
I walk up to the line.

The free throw line.
The simplest shot,
Ever.
In a game.

With a deep breath,
I take the ball.
The ref says something,
But I am too anxious.

I position the ball in hand,
Take a deep breath,
Look up at the rim,
And shoot.
