Lost Moments

Deep inside I was glad I was the chosen, Outwardly cool, yet within I was frozen, I cut to the corner so the play could unfold, But a teammate did not do as he was told, The point-guard was stuck, he was forced to shoot, I watched the ball go right through the hoop, The crowd cheered, the team jumped for joy, Everyone surrounded the heroic young boy, I too cheered so no one would see, What I really felt was,"It should have been me!," Disappointment, anger, looking to blame, "Did I miss my dream chance at fame?"
