You blame it on others
You think the other team is good
You think that we played our best
But we didn't
We yell at each other
Every time we lose a point you think it's okay
But it's not
If you want me to list all the things we do wrong I can
But I won't
No one on this team has given me a chance
I've been underestimated countless times
But I'm on this team because I gave you all a chance
Now we're going to prove to each other that we can win
We can play as a team
We may suck now
But we are going to prove to ourselves that we don't
We are going to go through the rest of the season together
We are going to win one point at a time
We are going to get more wins
And if we don't?
We don't play together again
That's just how it's going to be
And if some of you are thinking, good, I don't want to play on this team again
Think again
We were on the same team as last year for a reason
Coincidence?
Maybe
We can win
The choice is ours
I wrote this and said it to my volleyball team. It's more of a speech than a poem, but I published it because I thought that it was powerful. Comment what poems you want to see more of!
