Basketball is Home

Home to me is basketball Playing rough on the court all day Collecting cards I buy from my dad and open on my birthday NBA pennants and posters cover my bedroom walls Team practices at school gyms with skills and drills Home and away tournaments on the weekend Wearing goofy socks during games and shorts year round And 1s and clean lay-ups are my specialty Roaring like a lion after my first charge My teammates cheer me on, it hypes me up Chanting “D what” loudly on the bench I love everything about basketball Home is basketball since I was 9 and will be always
