His One Mistake
Bang, Bang, Bang!
The ball bounces hard on the pavement
Boy’s laughter can be heard
Taunting
Bang, Bang, Bang!
And the memories won’t go away
The boys surround him
Laughing, jeering
Couldn’t they just forget?
That one single mistake on the basketball court
That one day?
The net swishes
The crowd roars
And his teammates turn away
It had been his only mistake
But no, they wouldn’t forget
The chant,
His chant,
They sang throughout the school
Bang, Bang, Bang!
Laughter fills his ears
No one would ever forgive
No one would ever forget
The net swishes
The crowd roars
He couldn’t even forget it himself
The ball bounces tauntingly
Bang, Bang, Bang!
