Cleansed

Bone tired exhausted
The good kind of tired
That makes you sleep hard
And wake up hungry.

I laid everything out on the court
Tonight
I'm not good
Just mediocre
But that doesn't matter
What matters is
Breath, Fast hot, hard
Sweat, trickling, beading on my lip
Body, moving, pounding, jumping, running, stretching
Exertion
is a good thing.

It's good to lose myself
Immersed
In this one moment
Not caring about homework
Impressing guys
Listening to friends' problems
Worrying about kids in Bible class
Just giving everything within me
A Chance
to just

let go
