Words are as harmful
As nothing said at all
One word in particular
Can start a classroom brawl,
But words are meaningless
Unless meaning exists
Ink on a paper
Doesn’t actually live
Don’t drop the ball
The talent is yours
Don’t let them take it
It’ll perish too soon;
Caught in two minds
It’s hard to choose
Whatever the score
It’ll feel like a lose
Individuals – no longer seen
Crowds too busy – blending in
If nothing matters
Why does it matter at all?
Faceless fears
Are worst of all
If you don’t turn up
There’s nothing at all
Don’t drop the ball
The talent is yours
Don’t let them take it
It’ll perish too soon;
Caught in two minds
It’s hard to choose
Whatever the score
It’ll feel like a lose
Walking in that gym
With everything that’s ever been
Shadow casts upon play
Living ghost from yesterday
Haunting in the lives we live
Daunting in the fear it brings
Wear a nameless shirt
He won’t know how to pull the strings
Don’t drop the ball
The talent is yours
Don’t let them take it
It’ll perish too soon;
Caught in two minds
It’s hard to choose
Whatever the score
It’ll feel like a lose
