A Collection of Thoughts

Soccer

I've always loved soccer
It's a sport I can't give up
As soon as I step onto the pitch, I know that I'm loved
I know that people care
As soon as I step onto the pitch, I'm really there
My mind suddenly clears
My heart is filled with pride
Half of this incredible feeling was taken by a guy
I let my feelings control me
Let them tell me who I could be
When in reality,
All I ever wanted to be,
Was me

Me, a girl with a passion for sports
Me, a girl that has a short temper
Me, a girl that doesn't fall easily
Though when she falls, she falls hard
It takes a lot to make her feel
To make her break her solemn facade
When he made her fall,
She knew then and there
That he wasn't going to be fair
He treated her poorly
Made her doubt herself
She had no confidence
An ache filled her chest
She hated soccer
Hated going on the pitch

The pitch, it used to be her true love
Now it's a signal of her choices
It's a symbol of her resilience now
A signal of her dignity
