Court vs. Control | Daniel Haverstick (10)

The pounding dribbles imitate my heartbeat

I’m struggling to control.

The blinding lights graze the floor like water

As I chase my reflection sideline to sideline


The crowd’s screams tears into reality

Their voices fade, and so do I.

I break left, but the hardcourt floor blocks my way

I’m tired of the illusion of chance


The ball leaves me behind

Moving far faster than I ever could

The buzzer calls for mercy

As my belief in myself fades along with it.
