Draft poem - Professional Writing

Football is my Game

Football is my game,
The buzz I get is breathe taking.
When my team loses it is a shame,
But we bounce back and leave the opposition shaking.

When I walk across those white lines,
I am as focused as I would be in a test.
When the whole team works well and combines,
we feel exstatic as its for the shirt, the crest.

As a striker I need composure,
to stay calm and finish well.
If I play well it could be my first glimpse of exposure
to the scouts watching on the side, motionless like a shell.

When every game is over I am sad,
not because we lost or won.
But because it was the best time I ever had,
Lost or won, our team always shone.

Football has its ups and downs,
from injuries, bitter rivalry's.
To cup and league triumphs and crowns,
but the thing I enjoy the most,
is the social benefits of playing with friends.


Football is my game.
