Friday night lights

Lights are on flashing shiny lights

as my teammates and I run on the field to prepare for the game. 

The lights remind me of headlights from a car

 That shines in the night. 

Students filling the stands

pushing and shoving,

looking like a herd of elephants as they stubble over each other to watch the game. 

The green turf, 

looking like our battle field as we prepare to fight for another win. 

Refs wearing striped shirts whistle in their hands

The whistle blows and the game begins

The crashing and cracking of students hitting each other

Looking like they are two buffalo going head to head with their enemies 

The ball flying high and far in the air looking like a bird flying in the night sky

As it soundly lands in the hands of our wide receiver

Everyone grows quite

like the dead of night when everyone is finally asleep

The feeling like everything is happening in slow motion 

As you hear everyone start to scream and cheer 

As we just won our first game

This piece was inspired to me during the football game I got to play in. It was an exciting moment as a girl on a boys football team, being accepted and being allowed to play. It was a good moment and feeling. Like I was on top of the world, and I wanted to share it.
