Lost Moments
                   
         Deep inside I was glad I was the chosen,
                                                 
         Outwardly cool, yet within I was frozen,

      I cut to the corner so the play could unfold,

        But a teammate did not do as he was told,
                           
    The point-guard was stuck, he was forced to shoot,
                                                 
      I watched the ball go right through the hoop,

       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?"
