Do You Get 3 Strikes In Life?
by misunderstanding.all.u.see
I get up to plate.
I've made mistakes but here lies my fate.
I look up; wipe the hair out of my face.
But look straight at you without a trace.
I change thoughts because I know my place.
♥♥♥
One glance makes my whole body quiver.
But the speed of the ball racing behind me makes me shiver.
I here him, "STRIKE ONE!"
Two more and I'm done.
Feeling no control I lift my bat.
Although, being in the pit with his other friends is where he wished it sat.
I do not think.
I see him smile, give a wink.
♥♥♥
"STRIKE TWO!"
All the voices in my head cry, "BOO!"
I'm mad-
At myself which is clearly sad.
I laugh at him.
Suddenly, he's the one who's grim.
'Ha", I whisper.
Sadly, I see him whimper.
♥♥♥
Cries of joy come from the crowd.
I run all the way home, I even bowed.
I saw him press a smile as I walked to a special fan.
I can't believe the bases I ran.
I now know it wasn't all for him, it's true.
If it's not him, I'll soon enough find out who.
