How does the poet react to stress ?
Chapter - Just Me
From the time I was little,
I knew I was great
'cause the people would tell me,
"You'll make it - just wait!
But they never did tell me
how great I would be
if I ever played someone
who was greater than me.
When I'm in the backyard,
I'm king with the ball.
To swish all those baskets
is no sweat at all.
But all of a sudden there's
a man in my face
Who doesn't seem to realise
that I'm king of this place.
So the pressure gets to me;
I rush with the ball.
My passes to teammates could
go through the wall.
My jumpers not falling,
my dribbles not sure.
My hand is not steady,
my eye is not pure.
The fault is my teammates -
they don't understand.
The fault is my coaches -
what a terrible plan.
The fault is the call by the blind referee.
But the fault is not mine; I'm
the greatest, you see.
Then finally it hit me when
I started to see
that the face in the mirror
looked exactly like me.
It wasn't my teammates who
were dropping the ball,
and it wasn't my coach
shooting bricks at the wall.
That face in the mirror that
was always so great
had some room for improvement
instead of just hate.
So I stopped blaming others
and I started to grow.
My play got much better
and it started to show.
And all of my teammates
didn't seem quite so bad.
I learned to depend on the
good friends I had.
Now I like myself better
since I started to see
that I was lousy being great -
I'm much better being me.
