tennis

red palms makes a girl stand back
stand aside
subside
hold on tight to the racket
get your feet in the right position
let that sun beam down and burn all those doubts
let the shade bring down that body temperature
let the movement be the cure
listen not to those silent voices
all those lack of choices
and just play the game

glide through and follow through
you can do it
you can do it
serve the truth without speaking
serve for yourself within the perimeters
never expect a return
just run accordingly
be prepared
and drink water
lots of water



then feel your heartbeat
race
racing with your own life
set a new pace for yourself
a new game
a new hope



because the game will change
that is the only promise
win or lose
it will change
