...The beginning

Didn't feel so great after a match.

The wind a different dance

The sun a different glance

The grass, not greener but not dull either

You breathe, you take a swing and pray your confidence will stay

They clap, but it is only the beginning.

Your heart still beating faster by the minute,

your hands shake, 

you're scared.

You miss.

Then miss,

And miss again.

Did you fail?

But it is only the beginning.

You try again,

It''s worse.

You lose faith.

Why must it be this way?

But it is only the beginning.

You try,

you fail,

you try again,

you fail again.

But you tried.

The battle is over, your body aching with disgust,

how could you accept such failure.

But it is only the beginning.
