after years of competing for victories,I am mentally drained

[Dream Time]

a female friend of mine asked me if I am playing on a basketball team,

well,I have not been playing on any teams/league for few years already.

I started playing basketball when I was nine years old,
I would practice from morning/noon to night almost everyday,
rain or shine.
when I was 14,I would play with guys from gr.11,12,college,univesity,or just guys much older than me.
I've played lots of basketball,
to be honest,I think I was very good,as I could beat those guys and I was the youngest guy.
but sometimes I get hurt,I rest for a while,and when I return I just could not play as good as before,
sometimes I just don't have the right teammates and it makes me frustrated.

now I am 18,my height is 174cm,too bad I am not over 6 foot tall,
if I play in a league (like Friday night league or whatever) with big guys I will be playing Point Guard which is not my favourite position,since when I was a kid I wanted to play Power Forward or Small Forward.

I gave up basketball for 1,2 years and just didn't know what to do in my life,because I've been playing basketball almost all my life.
those 1,2 years were wasted,I walked on the streets at night,sometimes with a bottle of alchohol in my hands,and thought about what I was supposed to do in my life.
I had no goal,just living but doing nothing,
I felt empty and somehow depressed.

I love the game,but I think my body and mind is not in shape to compete now.
I no longer have the fire in my eyes like I used to have.

I am mentally drained.

basketball is my friend
basketball court is my home

basketball brought me happiness,it made me strong

even when practicing alone under the sun or rain,
the practicing was tough,but I was happy

few months ago I went back to the elementary school basketball court,which I spent years playing there,
I had been playing there since the first time I started playing basketball,
but too bad they changed all the hoops already,
many things happened there,I spent years playing there,and I had fights with the bastards who just wanted to play violent basketball,
and there I even taught a girl I really like,how to play basketball.
I just didn't have a chance to say goodbye to my good old friend.

I never took pictures with my basketballs and hoops,too bad.

Yeah Dreamtime, go pick up an AND1 mix tape or whatever and watch that little white kid 'the professor' play ball with all those towering dudes, he seriously schools those guys.

in case if any of you wonder about my race

I am not black,I am not white,I am Chinese.

usually Chinese guys likes to play with Chinese
but I usually play against non-Chinese guys.

to be honest,when I was a kid,I dreamed about playing in professional league,but now I just want to play
