you never fail until you stop trying


 Am I too late to say sorry? 


Now I'm standing by dad’s body 


Cold and hard 


My heart is in shards 


Am I too late to say sorry?


I was so cocky 


When JB wasn't being sloppy


 I wish I wasn't so rocky 


Am I too late to say sorry?


To the mom that loves me dear 


I wish my mind was clear 


So I could have saved those tears 


Am I too late to say sorry?


To all those I have heart  


For hitting y’all with my fiery darts 


Oh where would I even start? 


I’m sorry, Mom 


I’m sorry, Dad 


I’m sorry, JB

I'm sorry, Miss Sweet Tea 


I'm sorry, Vondie 


I understand if you can't forgive all the rotten things I did 


And all the things I undid


Please tell me I'm not too late to tell the rest of you how much I care 


For I can't handle all the glares 


I've already lost Dad and I won’t lose y’all


I don't want there to be a wall


I'm I too late to say sorry?


Y’all are my basketball court 


I need to learn to be a good sport 


Like dad said, “The ball is my heart and I need to leave it on the court.”

This was a class project we had to make something that summarizes the book Crossover
