I'll Never be Good Enough for Him

They come
As I bang on the door
It opens and I rush out
To take my place...

My place in front of Rachel
And to the right of Nat Kat
That is the way it has been
And it feels the right place to be...

They shoot on Rachel
But she is the best goalie
As the whistle blows
She covers the puck...

I knock the other girls over
For that is my job and
I do it gladly for a chance
To crush the Quakers...

We go back to the bench
To wait for our next turn
As we get water
They score on Rachel...

I am about to go back out
For the next shift
But he stops me
And forces me to watch...

We score on them twice
And they score again
That time I watch again
From the side of the rink...

Rachel almost faints
We use our timeout
To get her well enough
To even stand at all...

She is sent out
Because she is
Our only hope
For winning at all...

They shoot again
And Rachel stops the puck
The Refs don't blow the whistle
And the Quarry Cats slash her...

Eventually the puck
Is pushed in the net
And it is counted as a goal
Those stupid, biased refs...

I wait and watch
While being kept back
Watching the game
Two minuites left to the game...

It is my turn to go
And he stops me
Again! he stops me
"You're too slow." he says...

I am blissful
In release of worrying
My searching has ended
For I know why he hates me!
