The Last Shot

I look at the clock,

We’re down by eight with two minutes to go.

I think to myself that I’m

The only one who could change this game.

` Lay-up, jump shot, lay-up,

I’m on fire and no one can stop me.

They do the only thing they can think of

They foul me with one second left.

I start to think that we need one to tie, and two to win.

I step in and take my time.

I shoot the first free throw, the follow through is perfect,

“Swish.”

Tie game, one second left, one free throw to go,

The crowd tries to distract me,

They yell and scream at the top of their lungs.

But I step and take long breaths

And release the ball…………….
