The world as I know it is dark and bleak
But the love for a game has left me complete
There’s this feeling of hopelessness stuck in my head
With confusion and fear no longer a threat
Just a feeling of not being able to make it on my own
And not being able to be told “hey team play zone”
My skills are rusty and my game is weak
But give me sometime and then we’ll see
Practice makes perfect this we all know
Maybe someday ill be in the show
To stand on the court with some of the best
Like Allen Iverson or even Steve Nash
Yeah its a dream that will never come true
But we all can dream who knows what it can do
Martin Luther King Jr. once too had a dream
And gave a new perspective on what we all seen
A dream can change everything if it falls through
I am sure Kobe had a dream too
His little dream has turned into something big
Being number two in all of the league
Helping his team when they are down in the dumps
Giving them hope but still having fun
This poem is supposed to be about the world as i know it
But basketball has turned into my world so ill show it
Show you all that its not just a game
Its not about winning or all about the fame
Its about being a team and working together
Its about being on the court as the entertainer
Pleasing the crowd by doing what you love
And not just doing it all for yourself
Its about respect and discipline from one to another
A common intrest that brings us together
To be like a family and show all our strengths
And help cover the weaknesses of other teammates
The world as I know it is dark but complete
Because its not just a game its the way we all live
