Then I remember the realization that I wasn't good at what I had been put there to do. That I wasn't as aggressive as the other kids on the team.
I was always told to sit this one out at recess.
The only thing I could seem to do correctly was swing on the swings. Even then, I could never do a backflip off, like the kid next to me. I remember that jumping off the swing felt like it could last forever, because I felt so alive up there.
I remember always being the last one picked in dodgeball, and always the last one back in, because I was never too good at throwing the balls very far.
People always ask why I'm not as excited as them. I don't really know why, maybe I'm just afraid to be.
I was also the last one picked for dodgeball, but once I got all the high school and in the money early twenties I found out that I'm actually very coordinated and probably could have been pretty good at various forts. That was supposed to say Sport. Anyhow I think the fact that they don't pick us for dodgeball is more of some sort of crazy popularity thing or lack thereof, you sound like you might be in your early twenties and I think you are male
