POEM STARTER

Submitted by Cassandra Elliot 🌹

Write a poem or short story that embodies the feeling of being chosen last.

Last Choice

I wait for my name to be called


I wait for a finger to point at me


I watched other people walk towards their teams


I just wonder when mines going to be


I watched as people high-fived their team captain or friends


I watched as some teams were as perfect as crackers and tea


The bleachers became emptier and emptied


Until Im the second to last one sitting, see


I saw the other team captain thinking carefully


Won’t you pick me please?


One more person goes so here I am


I was the last choice, obviously
