Anhedonia

Is the loss

of interest and enjoyment,

in all activities one has once loved.

It is the feeling

of not caring anymore.

For me,

I have lost all interest and enjoyment

in the game of basketball,

the sport that once was my stress reliever.

And the only one I want to blame is my coach.

The coach who had no faith

or confidence in me.

The coach who never taught

ME to be better, as if I was going unnoticed.

The coach who only brought me down.

I have been playing this game I loved since I could walk,

and now

it is senior year.

And I don’t play,

I sit,

the bench.

As if I feel as useless as a pet rock.

Thanks for everything, coach.
