Chereads / Memoirs: Poems / Chapter 11 - If

Chapter 11 - If

If only I can go back

If only I can have that chance

If only I can build that before time

We could have won that line

Nine years ago today

I sealed that dream of being a victor

A dream unspoken but prayed

For that I became a sailor

Third grade at the age of eight

Young age but I know my fate

I promised to make the ball roll

It was my sole duty to deliver the ball

Nearing its peak, I disappointed him

I lost control, I failed my team

But I know it wasn't my ending

Because I should play next school year

I thought I was ready

I thought I was enough

I thought all my preparations were enough

But I was wrong to be fooled by time.
