My Little Poetry Collection

Softball- Team

And here I am
Surrounded by girls
Some of whom I just met a few weeks ago,
Some who before now I hadn't seen for months.

We come together.
Even the ones who see each other every day,
They let others in.
They let me in.

I feel more included with these girls
That I haven't known for years.
That I don't see on a day to day basis.

Our cheers,
Out jokes,
Our spirit.
There's nothing like it.

Don't get me wrong,
There's still pain.
The sting of sunburn,
The bruise from the ball,
The ache of mistakes.

A good team
Will bring you up.
They will make you better
Than you have ever been.

I love this game,
And I love this team.
This team has welcomed and supported me more
Than the people at my school ever will.

Hot potato,
Telephone,
Bee,
Cheers,
Clapping,
Macarena,
Screams,
Loudness in general.

Thank you for these memories,
And hopefully more to come over the months.
