RED: At your feet

You’re there…it’s the moment, you’ve got the ball at your feet,

And you’ve got that big fat goalie, grinning with showing teeth,

And a couple of oponents running to snatch away that ball,

And suddenly you feel so small amidst the players so tall,

But you’ve cant let that fear take over,so you give it all you’ve got,

With every inch of your energy,one last blow but… its been caught,

Caught and thrown across the field by that big fat goalie who grinned with his showing teeth,

And just then you feel wasted,all your efforts void with… trembling feet,

Somehow the fear takes over once again, but just breathe,

Reassure yourself,Because times on your side,you could still be in the lead,

And it may happen over and over, but don’t loose your head,

Just remember all those words of encouragement,everything that was ever said,

But when the other team scores in that penalty kick,

And the others are rejoicing,smiling….and you feel sick,

And you don’t know what to feel and you look at your team mates,

But their world’s have fallen down,they seem to be in worse off states,

And all those memories just flash before your eyes,

When those dissapointed eyes of the coach; leave you hypnotized,

Of all those 5 am wake up calls and in school breakfasts,

Of all those many rigorous passionate practice sessions,

Of all that bonding just over a white and black ball,

Which seemed hard to control for even the tallest of them all,

Of all those million stunts you’d try to mimick and all the tension and stresses,

By this loss,all seemed pointless, so worthless,

You’ve dissapointed so many, even though you played so well,

But lady luck didn’t seem to be on your side; no matter how many times you fell,

And ya.. you feel sad,almost about to cry,

And you wish that this loss was all just a lie,

But yea, nothing can be done now, be proud that you put up a good show,

And yea.. one lost game isnt going to shun out the glow,

So hey, continue those enthusiastic 5 am wake up calls,

Because one day, to your feet, lady luck is going to fall…
