I told the referee

“I don’t want to play anymore.”

The referee said “No I won’t let you, give up.”

I asked him “Why not? Who’s keeping the score?”

Then he pointed up high where the lights would never fade.

“Those people who believed in you before you ever played.”

Then he continued “They don’t cheer for you because you never fell -

They cheer for you because every time you get back up - you raise hell.”
