Being a goalie is odd Because you’re the odd one You take the hits and the pain And smile right through it Being a goalie is hard Nobody seems to get it Reacting faster and faster To catch something you can’t see They’ll tell you it’s easy That anyone can catch But they haven’t trained Their brain and body not to flinch They’ll blame you When they don’t like the score Even though you’re a team You should have done better You should have compensated for the hundreds of mistakes That you tried to correct But nobody listened Because you’re not a field player You’re a goalie And what do goalies know About the plays taught at the practice That they still attend I am this goalie One for lacrosse I’m weird and have rituals And sacrifice myself for the team My body and mind Are tougher than theirs But they tell me it’s easy To not show fear The thing is I’m not a real teammate Just a goalkeeper Just a brick wall Just an obstacle

Being a Goalie
She may be ****** And she may check my fingers- Slam her hard metal pole down on them- Each time we practice lacrosse. And she may roll her eyes At Me. But I don't hate her. I feel sorry for her. Because I think I'm the only one Who pays attention Through the laughter and fun That He touches her. And she makes a joke out of it So her minions snap out of their dazed state and Chuckle a little bit. But his crawling fingers are greedy And her words are scarce. All of the brain-dead minions Laugh when she jokingly screams, **** Except me.

And She May Be ******
i dream about that girl that girl who can wear that dress and smoke after school she can let her hair down even on the hot days and let it fall and dance on the small of her back she breaths in the lethal fumes that don't even touch her her porcelain skin too taut to let the poisons in she sits and lets the sun melt on her face as she lays on the freshly cut grass the boys staring and her not caring i sit and stare at that girl who sits and stares right back at me through the smoke of my infinite dreams

******
i sit there with the cool wind breezing against my face while the summer sizzles on my shoulders your golden thigh sticks to my skin as we drive to the game every god **** week the boys they sit in the back and pack their lips and talk **** about the girls the girls who don't realize that they're their easy targets who skip around in their short, tight dresses they talk about their waists and the way they like to moan every little imperfection all avail have they shown they think that it makes them buff they think that it makes them cool and i let them light their egos and sometimes i chirp on too but yet i sit and listen and sometimes i think they don't realize that i'm a girl too i don't know how i feel about that
