Nouns - Soccer ball

'You were a fuck up when you were a kid. Don't you ever say a damn word about mine.'

'Nobody died and made you the king of the universe; who the fuck cares what you think?'

while you were yelling at dad, I was thinking about how I was just like him; I chugged a bit of cough medicine, and found the time rift under my bed

I scraped my knees falling in
I hit my head against the pavement
I landed in our driveway,
and there at my face
was a lonely soccerball

I shrugged and walked a few miles to my old school's baseball field, and there was a kid there that looked just like me

he was sucking on sunflower seeds, and he didn't look too happy,
he says to me:

'all my friends are taller than me, and everything I feel is low'
