"Kickball Life"
  by getchamndrite


Dare I myself dream?
Have I forgotten?
Am I allowing that toddler-like admiration and wonderment fade?
This life is all a playground
It is meant to be observed, experienced, and played with
So I challenge myself
To challenge my life to a game of kickball
Though I am anxious to kick
I take in the thrill
Though I run hard and sometimes lose my breath to get on base
I celebrate each small accomplishment
And though I struggle to score in this life
I smile all the while
Reminding my self it is not the inning to focus on
But the game in its entirety

I love this, i NEVER woulda thought of such a meaphor but it works so well! Those last two lines say it all. I used to LOVE kickball in school.... a time of such innocence and carefree living.

true story. this one is so simple, it's refreshing. I love it when poets actually write what they're thinking...something as simple as a bbq roast or something...I like this one

very compelling composition! I very much do believe life is a game that daily challenges us to become better and strive for more! Excellent job.
