Major League Games

Strike one:

Across the face
Throbbing
Blood rushes to the scene
Trying to repair the physical damage
Coloration flushed
From dark hues to scarlet fused
Repeated fouls...never out...
Repeated fouls...creating doubt...
Repeated fouls...feeling torn...
Repeated fouls...now the norm...

Strike two:

Within the mind
Crushing
Each statement redefining the essence
Stupid *****
Dirty Hoe
You ain't **** without me
Each statement redefining the being
You hella ugly
Betta not leave me
I'll ****in kill you
Each statement redefining the persona
Slow...Steady...Manipulation
Chipping the sculpture
WIth the precision of a surgeon

Strike three:

Physically mishandled
Mentally persecuted
Repeated fouls created the norm
Repeated statements redefined
Stripped of internal elegance
The luster now dull
Icebox replacing the series of ventricles
Heart no more...
Heat no more...
Her...no more...
Cold, devalued...deterred
Discouraged...
Third strike...
Across the face
Within the mind
Inside the heart...

Get out.

Next to bat:

The pitch
Wind up
A fastball
Take a swing
Single...
No...double
A couple now
First base earned
The second stolen
Chalk this one up as well

Brief intermission:

This message is brought to you

Hip...

Now back to our previously scheduled event already in progress:

Time passes
Days...
Weeks...
Months...
Better than before
Foregoing strikes for fouls
Repeated fouls...never out
Repeated fouls...creating doubt
Reenforcing...
Instilling...
The first base earned...
The second stolen...

Bottom of the ninth:

Seven innings spent
Strikes
Across the face
Within the mind
Inside the heart
Forging impressions
Reenforcing doubt
Melding the image
Luster turned dull
Adoration turned fear
Stupid *****
Dirty Hoe
You ain't **** without me
You hella ugly
Betta not leave me
I'll ****in kill you
Statements
Creating the image
Reenforcing the doubt
Instilling the nature
Manifesting the norm

Two innings spent
Better than the last
Foregoing strikes for fouls
Blunt, bold, blatant
Blown calls...
Missed opportunities
Mis-takes
His-takes
Her-takes
She takes
The time to think...
But not the time to understand
The change is not external
No depending on the man...
The first based earned
The second stolen...
Resting on past achievements
Using present gifts
Free rides
No work
Free gifts
No return
Free stay
No charge
Freedom...
No change

Still pictured within the frame
Trapped
Wondering
The difference between
The distance between
There's a thin line
Between...
Love and Hate
A moment even
Being the source of separation
The discretion
The indiscretion
The infidelity
The nights spent
Wondering
The difference between
The distance between
There's a thin line
Between...
Acceptance and Fear
A moment even
Between the strikes
After the fouls
The outs
The intermission
The pitch
The swing
The single....no double
Single again
But not quite...

Nine innings spent...doubled...
Foregoing runs for strikes
Strikes for fouls
Leading out
Then running home...
Scoreless...
Bottom of the ninth...
Scoreless...
There was action...
Strikes
Across the face
Within the mind
Inside the heart
Hits
Across the face
Within the heart
Inside the mind
Fouls
Foregoing strikes for fouls
Not as bad...
I guess...
Repeated fouls...never out
Repeated fouls...creating doubt
Repeated fouls...feeling torn
Repeated fouls...now the norm
The norm...

Bottom of the ninth
And that's the norm
Single...but not quite
Happy...but not quite
Hiding...never out
Holding...to the doubts
Hiding...feelings torn
Holding...to the norm
The pitch
A curveball...

Time out.
We'll be back after these messages from our sponsor:

Stick to the norm...
Venture out...
Bottom of the ninth
Scoreless...
Strikes
Hits
Fouls
Running home...
Scoreless...
The norm...

Outside of the frame
Outside of the norm
A challenge
New terrain
A meadow
Fields of snow
Fresh air
New sights
New scenes
Uncertainty
Fields of snow
White, pure, real...
Real...
Honesty...
Integrity...
Passion...
See?
See?
Hip...
But not the norm...
No...
Not close.
No strikes
No hits
No fouls
No need to forego
Strikes for fouls
Just Home Runs
Scores
The board fills
And boredom flees
Freedom seen
And embraced
No rush
Just a choice

The pitch
A curveball
Not fast...
No sinker...
No knuckles
Just a curve...
Outside the norm...
A pitch unseen before
Wondering...
To swing
To wait
To reach
To wait...
Can't wait...
Because the norm is there too
More the same
Wrapped in a better package
But more the same
Stories
Games
Lies
Deceit
The norm
More the same
But the norm
Outside the norm
A pitch unseen before
Wondering
To swing
To wait
To reach
To wait...
Should wait...
Should break down the mold
Create a new
Impression

A new norm
A new being
A new essence
With the precision of a surgeon
Use the scalpel to create
A new vision
A new picture
A new frame
One without uncertainty
One with acceptance
Not of strikes and fouls
Hits and steals
But of
Compassion
Care
Honesty
Integrity
Passion
Love
See?
See?

Love it.
Love yourself.

Going...
Going...
The park lights glowing
Air crisp and clear
Picnic made and sandwiches set
Orange juice and jamaica jerked chicken
Blanket covering the cold
Icebox replaced by ventricles
Heat once more
Heart once more
Her once more...
Her...
Once...
More...
No rush.
Just a choice...
Going...
Going...
Going...
Gone.

It's out of the park.
Home run.

And that's the game folks.

Past = 0
Present = 1
