Penalty Kick
September 27, 2023
Crowd surging,
yelling
screaming
cheering
booing
Energy pumping
the audience eagerly
awaits
This is what matters
Goalie jumps, stretching
lines up
her expression
tells all
she’s ready, but
I’m not
Nerves and emotions
spill out
onto my face
I take a deep breath
fix my gaze
and concentration
on the ball
Ref nods
drumroll soars,
echos
I run
forward
Aim it
Kick it
Slam it
Close my eyes
feel the net
rippling
without even seeing it
Goal

I love soccer, and I wanted to write something to represent that.
