Lost in Translation

Seeing them cry 

I can’t help but laugh

Realizing their failures

Feels like they just did me a favor

Absorbing their pain

Brings comfort to my brain

Humiliation showers over them

While excitement towers over me

Hearing their downfall

Feels like an athlete who just threw a fastball

Just like Dodgers down four-three

My emotions break free
