I'm Okay.

The excitement.
Tension, speed, competition.
Everyone is racing for the ball.
Laughter, anger, suspense.
I run for the ball;
we all do.
For a second, I'm laughing.
Then.. darkness.
I hear nothing
but the sound of my beating heart.
I open my eyes and say,
"I'm okay."
I try to stand,
but my head is pounding.
As everyone continues the game,
I walk away to sit.
I see you,
acting as if nothing happened.
My heart is pounding,
my head aches.
I'm checked for cuts...
none.
I'm questioned how I got up so fast...
strength.
I have so much of it.
I feel my head,
it's as if I'm growing another.
My eyes water when I realize,
I couldn't move my arm.
It hit my nerve.
But, I'm okay.
I think back,
you fell on me!
Then it was dark,
I blacked out!
The fear, the pain.
Every inch of my body,
The fear, the pain.
But, I'm okay.
My friends are more angry
then I actually am.
My head was pounding;
faster than my heart.
My speech was blurred,
But I remained optimistic.
I held back my tears.
I'm okay. I'm okay.
