I’m pretty terrible at sports.
I did try that thing called volleyball and football and basketball and handball
I’m not good with anything that involves balls
Is it either sports with balls or having actual balls to do stuff
Because even if we are only taking about sports
I have never had the balls to do any other sport
Because well I hate sports
I have never had the balls to go and learn more physics
Because well I hate physics
I have never had the balls to dance in front of my whole class
Because well I hate my class and dancing in public
I have never had the balls to go and ask that boy out
Because well I hate not knowing
I have never had the balls to get some better friends
Because well I hate being short of things I know no matter how bad they are
I have never had the balls to go to a party
Because well I hate the perspective of maybe being alone
I have never had the balls to call out things that I knew were wrong

I mean I missed the great opportunity of being
a physicist and a runner who could dance in public
and go out with the boy she was into
and have some friends who went to parties
and could call things out when they were wrong
Well just look at all the things could have been
Look that simple hate just makes it not exist
