I am not a baseball player
But I’ve become an expert at curve balls
Dodging and ducking
I am not a baseball player
Yet, I keep stealing bases
Getting closer to a Home Run
I am not a basketball player
But I shoot my shot
Even though I only get bricks
I am not a basketball player
Yet I screen for something good to happen
Hoping for a fast break
I am not a hockey player
But I constantly get tripped
And checked
I am not a hockey player
Yet I want to score
I want a shutout
I am not a football player,
Yet I find myself fumbling
Losing yards
Losing teammates
I find myself in the endzone
All alone
No one there to welcome me
Or cheer me on
I am not a fan
But I cheer
I hope
I stick it out
I am not a coach
But I support
Give advice
Feel responsible for other’s actions
I am not a metaphor
No wait, I am
I’m just a potato
A Basic B*tch
An Aco Taco
I am not my own person
Nor am I unique
I am just an enigma
