I Just Don't Want To Play

by kolorful   May 19, 2007


I used to love baseball,
I used to love it a lot.
Every day i would wake up,
And play catch with my dad.

Until that one day,
During that certain game,
When the ball hit me right in the face.
That one ball made me change.

I felt afraid of the ball,
Which in baseball, is no good.
I started playing less and less,
My dad noticed, and it wasn't very good.

He yelled "Son, you have to face your fears"
But what he didn't know,
Was that he was one of my fears,
Of which was beggining to grow.

I told him I couldn't face my fears,
That i was too afraid.
He began to grow angrier and angrier with me,
He flew into a rage.

He punched me again, and again, and again,
Screaming all the way.
What he didn't understand was that
I just didn't want to play.
