just wrote my feeling after my rugby game tonight and my parents left without saying anything to me.  havent made improvements yet open to suggestions.


Last game of season
Talked about for weeks
gonna be the best game ever
and its finally here
Under the lights
for the first time EVER!
Pregame practice is great
except one person
doesnt really care
Parents actually manage
to show, heh.
'best friend' too
Friend screams at the top of her lungs to me
dont care...down by ALOT
Family stays silent
Do they want to be here?
Half time and half dead
heart pounds almost ripping open my chest
Trying with all the might
in my bruised and scared body
to come from 30 points behind.
Second half, half second wind
only thoughts are on the try line 50 meters away
havent seen it in 30 minutes
getting pounded left and right
on the ground each time
all rage going to the legs
legs that must hit
hit as hard as the body will allow
not good enough
body meets the ground again
more pissed everytime my head smacks the ground
knocks every play
mind tells me to quit
cant, too pissed to care
Last play and its over
the game, the season
the only thing i have.
lost 39 to 5
like it was our first time on the field
shake hands-good game
Sure, whatever
Tryed my hardest, everything i had
the stands empty now
Parents? they were here?
Equiptment away for the winter
may not see the field in the spring.
So parents? not in the stands,
not on field,
not by gate,
no more cars,
everyones gone, standing alone
me and the field
they left without even a 'good game'
the tears pierce my eyes like razors
Should have known
But they actually came
this time.
its all done, over
the game, the season, only thing i have.
its all done, over,
trust, care, love
done, gone
no more, LOST!

hey. this one is good
when you mention yourself alone on the field after everyone left, you meant that in an artistic sense, and not in a literal one, right? I think thats very cool. You could take it further with this concept.
