Hoops
this my game.
a game i was told to play
a game i was told to love.

This game that I play every day.
This game that I run down the court
and sweat and tears run down my face
"Run faster hussel!!"
This is all I hear
My cherry faced coach
is yelling at me yet another time.

Half time locker room
all I can hear is yelling.
sometimes at me,
sometimes at teamates
being told we are terrible.
I cry inside but not outside,
that would be worse.

Even though we won this game
it was still awful at the end.
I hate this game.
I hate being told what to do.
I hate my coach.
We all hate this game.

But we will always play
that's what we were
told and taught to do
I know I could not live without it
This game called hoops..
