Beast of the Ball
Location
The game is about to begin, once the ref oscillates her hand
I can hear my heart pounding louder than the bounce of the ball
I look up at the scoreboard that is as blank as a check, then to the stand
And feel as uneasy as an expecting mother, knowing my parents are watching it all
I can hear my heart pounding louder than the bounce of the ball
So I try to look down, but feel the rush of my fluttering
And feel as uneasy as an expecting mother, knowing my parents are watching it all
From the bleachers to the court comes their doubtful uttering
So I try to look down, but feel the rush of my fluttering
As I begin to show my parents my “soothing” smile
From the bleachers to the court comes their doubtful uttering
I pray for salvation that they won’t see me play for a while
As I begin to show my parents my “soothing” smile
A white orb unbidden hits my face then the ground
I pray for salvation that they won’t see me play for a while
But am forced to get my head in the game and not out of bounds
A white orb unbidden hits my face then the ground
But I feel motivated to counter them with an “ace”
And am forced to get my head in the game and not out of bounds
Transforming into a villain, determined to crush the heroines with grace
But I feel motivated to counter them with an “ace”
Yet begin to feel the power seeping into my skin
Transforming into a villain, determined to crush the heroines with grace
Focusing on nothing but fulfilling the devil’s orders from within.
Yet begin to feel the power seeping into my skin
The game is about to begin, once the ref oscillates her hand
Transforming into a villain, determined to crush the heroines with grace
I look up at the scoreboard that is as blank as a check, then to the stand
