Just a little piece of me

Found its way back

In the dirt and grass of the softball field

Shouting and screaming

As I hit the ball

And ran

I’ve been waiting for this,

For The exhilaration

To remember what it felt like To dive to save the match

I was twelve again

I’m not sure why it’s taken so long

To get my body back

I have a window to play

I’m not letting the ball get past me this time.
