Run Free: A Basketball Poem

Run Free
By Nygilia McClain

Equality

Dripping essence of a rush

Chosen

Believe in words you can't touch

Driven

Lovers left in dust

Sealed in bottles by the ocean's sun

Energy

Deciding friends and family

Courage

Biting your tongue and keep it moving

Dreaming

Living for the moments

Saving the pleasures in your mind's grip

Effort

Demanding the chance to score

Creative

Ball and dance become the rhythm

Deliver

Learn and prosper

Search for opportunity in ego's diary

Excellence

Decorating the colors of triumph

Calling

Breathe as you fight for righteousness

Dive

Luxuries and gems of our truth

Show the sky's eyes how you run free
