Bounce 

by: EJ

He made us sit around the room,

Give the next teammate some praise,

When it came around to the beautiful green-eyed girl,

She called on me,

She told me she was impressed with me,

When I came back to the team,

She said she'd never seen someone bounce back so fast,

Hearing those words,

A single praise,

Touched me in a way I haven't felt in quite awhile,

She got me thinking,

I've always felt I've never accomplished anything,

But perhaps I was wrong,

In those words she showed me hope again,

If I can get my soccer groove back so quickly,

Maybe I can do the same with myself,

And get myself out of this depth of despair,

I hear the words in my head,

You can bounce back from anything,

Its possible.
