Inside the Lines
A place of piece
A place of excitement
A place of competition
A place of freedom
Lessons are learned
Achievements are earned
Preparation meets oppoortunity
Teams form their own community
The game forces teams into unity
Pitcher standing on the mound
The batters cleats sink into the ground
A moment of clarity and intensity
Not too many moments carry this type of density
Not too many people can handle the game mentally
Each play is crucial for success
Each player is striving to be the best
A game so pure it is played on a diamond
Many dont understand it
But never take it for granted
It will remain America's pastime
Until it is played for the last time
Inside the Lines
A game is played
Two teams go head to head
Both trying to score on offense
But trying to smother on deffense
In order to get ahead
You must play with agression
Cheers from the crowd
As the quarterback drops back
Which receiver should he use on the attack
With a chaotic nature
The game is one of survival
All the fans wait for the last game
To see who will win the title
Americas game
Has brought many to fame
The most popular sport
The most brutal as well
One that makes you feel alive
Fans raise out of their seats to give high fives
Inside the Lines
The ball bounces off the court
A coach shouts out plays
That have been practiced for days
The players are exhausted
The time is running down
A moment of truth
To see who wants it more
It is a tie game
But someone has to score
A player is open
He is set to take the shot
Once he releases the ball
Time seems to stop
As the time runs out
The balls swishes through the net
The crowd goes wild
A moment no one will forget
Inside the lines
Regardless of what field
Or court you may be on
You can leave the outside world
For the duration of the game
Live in the moment
And it will become yours
