Honest Poem
My name is Owen Michael Powers
I was born on August 21st, 2003
My favorite food is Sushi
Raw fish, Seaweed, and eel sauce
To the average person, this is disgusting
To me, I can eat Sushi-like Gorden Ramsey likes Beef Wellington
But I am not a critic like Mr.Ramsey
From the POP of the carrot in my mouth
To the fresh rice on the outside
I love sushi
My name is Owen Michael Powers
I was born on August 21st, 2003
I love sushi
The only reason I am in this class
Is to raise my GPA to help get a scholarship for college for baseball
But what I don’t know is
How to get the good grade
I work day and night to get the opportunity to get the A or even the B
I don’t know-how
I am still learning
Trying to learn and accommodate what I need to do to get the A
I love baseball, baseball, and baseball
Baseball is what gets me up
Because without baseball I don’t get up
Without it, I feel lost and misplaced
My name is Owen Michael Powers
I was born on August 21st, 2003
I love sushi
My favorite activity is Baseball
Secretly but I am pretty sure it’s not a secret
I am diffident
I am Indolent
I am a pariah outside of baseball
Every day I Don’t know what to say
When words release from my mouth half the time I don’t know what I’ve said
When I step on that field that is when I am myself
I am myself when I tie my cleats
When I put on my helmet
When I step in the batters box
I tap the plate with the end of my bat
I make a circle with my bat
I get into my stance with all confidence
Confidence that I am going to beat you
I wonder after every game
Did I get noticed
What have I done wrong
What can I do better
I’m scared to death of roller coasters especially Mr.Freese
It’s icy cold, frozen walls, and cold dark mist in the air
I get in the front, my friend tricked me
I wake up and I am 70 feet in the air with the wind in my face and my unconscious hand slapping my friend across the face
My name is Owen Michael Powers
I was born on August 21st, 2003
My favorite food is Sushi
My favorite activity is baseball
I am scared to death of roller coasters
I am 5’6
People may think it’s not bad
But when I stare up at my 6’0, 6’2, and 6’3 teammates
I wish I could be 5’9 and I would still be the shortest on my team
I hide it in humor
Just ask my coach
My coach and I make jokes about each other
We can trash talk each other all-day
My name is Owen Michael Powers
I was born on August 21st, 2003
My favorite food is sushi
My favorite activity is baseball
I am scared to death of roller coasters
And I hate being short
