The Lights Remind Me
The light of the sun
reminds me of the pre-game
warm-ups and rituals listening
to the deep voice of our
coach hyping us up, but shaking
like a leaf in the wind because
of the jitters and nerves.
The lights of the stadium
at night reminds me of the
championship game playing
my heart out, waiting for the blow
of the whistle, hearing the crowd
go wild, clapping and cheering.
The lights of the camera
flickering and flashing in front
of my team, reminds me of
the first time I had ever won a
tournament, exhilarated at the
the sight of my first metal.
The lights of the restaurant
reminds me of celebrating the
big win with my team and the
flickering lights glistening off of
my freezing celebratory ice cream.
I look as cool as a cucumber even
though I feel like a volcano ready
to erupt my excitement
The lights of my bedroom
slowly turning off reminds
me of dozing off and hoping
that this opportunity will
soon come again.
