The Fan

As I stand outside the arena

My anticipation grows as the clock ticks

So does my excitement of what’s to come

I stand among a sea of red

I look down upon my jersey

I can hear the horn

And the chanting begins

I can no longer hold back I too begin to chant

But off in the distance I see from my spectacles my furry friend

And it happens the doors to my very existence open without hesitation

I crowd through

Passing all means of black, white & gold

And the gates open as if to say come take in the joy

After being jostled around like a hapless soul

I take my seat before the gladiators of today take the ice

The coldness of the arena hits my face viciously

But I do not care

Because this night of nights

I will witness

The fire that is my team

Become unstoppable
