The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.

She took the bat.
The team's too nervous to cheer.
The girl on third gets ready to run.
The pitcher releases the softball and...
she hits it!
We score a point!
The game's over!
We've broken the tie!
We're screaming our heads off cheering.
We all hug each other.
Our parents are going crazy in the stands.
We've won!

This poem is about the time my softball team won the district championships.
