I let my arm do the talking

If you’re looking for the ball,
the catcher has it.

You dream of getting on base.
I am your worst nightmare.

It’s about playing catch
and throwing strikes.

If at first you don’t succeed,
it’s because of me.

Help your stats, don't bat today.

I could live without baseball,
but why would I want to?

playing baseball and seeing my parents seeing me throw on the pitchers mound made me write this poem.  I hope people can read it and think very hard of what it means to be a pitcher on the mound.
