Dodge Ball
Lined up against the wall
The other team taking aim
I’m the target; I can sense it.
Trying to distract with wit
The glare only becomes more focused
Waiting me out, time standing still…
Adrenaline rushing inside
Outwardly remaining calm
Wondering if I can dodge the inevitable.
The speeding ball makes contact
Taking my breath away
The glare remains focused.
This is not a game; it’s life
Dodging is not an option
The keeper of the ball will claim victory.
Seizing the ball
Readying my aim
Finding safety in holding it.
Dodge ball was never my game of choice
It made me feel powerless
As does life, everytime I release the ball.
