Playing Like a Girl

They look at her, they laugh.
Why is she here?
They treat her like a teammate,
But their eyes say something different.
The first game, all her friends on the sidelines,
But not her.
She stays benched...
For the whole game.
Figures.
But she knows
Deep in her head
That this is her sport.
And of course...
That Playing Like a Girl
Doesn't mean what it used to.
