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?"
