The Game.

Dedicated to Hannah

Feet pounding
the roar is in her ears
eyes focused
break away from the pack
!
gain an advantage
twist and turn
she's in front
!
possessed on the inside
determination is fierce
doesn't let anyone get in her way
!
the sidelines scream
feet deftly moving
sweat dripping
mud flies
!
time stops
it's all slow motion
a dull pounding in her ears
!
all is hushed
all are watching
!
the enemy fails to recover
as she slams her foot into the ball
power pulsing
it cuts through the air
!
the goalie never had a chance
fans erupting
the scoreboard explains the excitement
!
shaking with fatigue
a grin on her face
she raises her fist
!
heads held low
the enemy walks away in defeat
victory is sweet
