Frozen
Deep inside I was glad I was the chosen one Outwardly cool, yet within I was
frozen, It was sudden death match and I have to be bold But a teammate did not
do as he was told, My teammate made the kid squeal like rat I watched the
opposing kid get pinned in the mat, The crowd cheered, the team jumped for joy
Everyone surrounded the heroic young boy,
I too cheered so no one would see,
What I really felt was, It should have been me! Disappointment, anger, looking
to blame Did I miss my dream chance at fame? Nature's tears, the pounding rain
Cruelly mimic my resounding pain. Opaque clouds conceal her soul But mine is
open, a bottomless hole. That never heals, can never be cured Love dies inside,
so rest assured, I shall no longer flood the land With endless droplets wiped by
hand. Wait! Suddenly the horizon brightens Hope and fear in my heart heightens.
The myth of the clouds with the silver lining Breaks the spell that was once
confining. For now I feel my spirits rise As nature herself answers my cries. No
longer shall I mope and mourn For he has mended my heart that was torn.
