Dodge Ball

Everyone is united.
One of the best examples of this is dodge ball.

Dodge ball is the time when everyone has a place.
not everyone can hide on the sidelines. 


Two teams. One goal.
But that is not what I find to be important.
It's that everyone has a purpose.

The athletic ones throw the ball hard and fast; like they are gambling with their own lives.
But with nothing to loose. 

The girls, the ones who usually never lift a finger, find a job to do.
They makes sure no one is cheating. They make sure everyone is following the rules.
Protect each other. That is the biggest rule. 
Stay together, because everything is scarier alone. 

The nerdy, high-school-is-no-place-for-me boys have a purpose.
Guard the bowling pins. Be useful.

Where am I?
Where am I always..?
Watching. Sitting on the sidelines.
But as I watch, everyone is happy, focused. 
There are no differences.
Everyone matters.

That is a nice thought...
Everyone matters.
