Love & Basketball

Reach into my heart and you will find leather
One that can take your mind away
A cool grip that can help you focus
Focus on whats important to you, life
Peel away the warm-ups and expose your skin
A colorful delight of your armor, are you ready for battle
A battle between you and a leather sphere with cruelty inside
Viciously you pound it into the ground only to make yourself better
With grace you shoot it towards the goal
Nothing matters, but you, the ball, and a swish
Relaying your goals of life to that of your game
Making dangerous decisions to change directions
Aiming and striving for a goal
Never giving up after failure, and knowing that you can fail but not fall
Practice and practice and your goals get easier and easier
So step back and set new standards for your future success
Life is like my games of basketball
How I choose to learn the GAME may just be my biggest accomplishment
