Athlete

Girl in Baseball Cap on the Bus

You sit there in your ballcap and sweatpants
Ready to run, Ready to play
Work hard, Play hard
But I know your heart
I know who you are
 
If you were a color
you shine bright yellow
Uncommon and independent
But your light soon fades
In the glow of another
 
They see your bones and flesh
They'll see you run
They see you prepare for battle
When none is present
 
But I will always admire your courage
Though others may say you're too rough
I see the softness in your heart
Though they may see muscle and tone
I see love and hope
