You have to be willing to sacrifice who you are for what you can become.

Embedded into my heart,
just as the shirt,
Colors of pride,
red and white.

Sorrowful, it hangs,
A constant reminder,
A relentless trip down memory lane,
with just a glance,
it tugs at my heart strings.

What could have been,
What never will be.

“You've got this number seven.”
voices cheered me on.

Surrounded,
There I am again,
Reliving it all over
the smell, the team, the scenery,
my last chance.

Solemnly staring back to reality,
my failure,
“I'm sorry”
the fabric appears to say.
