light-lover in a storm

I live like I play soccer
full-tilt, all out, I grin
easily forgetting that
pain hurts, we’re not all God

For myself I care nothing
but I don’t play alone
and if you’re hurt my world explodes
(Life quick-bright-gone, like fireworks)

I play by running harder
falling more and rising faster
caring more about performance
than “harm's way’s” locale

Next day’s sore and limping
Next week’s bruise’d still
but if I pleased you, all is well
and if I’ve failed then

that I’m hurt
doesn’t make the list of my concerns
