Shadows of Doubt

Title: Shadows of Doubt

In the midst of the Court, Mikal Bridges stands lost,
Caught in the clutches of an extended Nets funk,
His skills, once sharp, now shrouded in a tempest’s frost,
His essence waning, as doubt begins to visibly honk.

Once a beacon on the hardwood, shining bright,
Now draped in shadows of uncertainty’s unkind gaze,
His game, once fluid, dances with hesitation’s might,
As he searches for the strength to escape this haunting maze.

Tangled in the web of elusive rhythm’s snare,
He yearns for redemption, to reclaim his rightful slot,
But as each game passes, his burden becomes more unfair,
For the weight of self-doubt, seemingly, cannot be fought.

Yet amidst the darkness, a spark flickers within,
The spirit of resilience whispers in his ear,
Embracing the challenge, he finds the fire to begin,
Rising from the ashes, casting away all fear.

For in this journey of struggle and strife,
Mikal Bridges finds solace in the battle he’s faced,
Rekindling his flame, he takes back control of his life,
Restoring his purpose, with perseverance interlaced.
