Urge to play football

Urge to play football

I suddenly got the urge to play football today. I used to play it every day at the neighborhood park but stopped because of my sickness, I still am very sick but nothing beats the joy of playing football with friends. I called my friend and told him to pick me up before he heads there. He came and we both arrived at the park at 6 in the evening. In a matter of few minutes, other dudes who were also supposed to be my friends gathered and they formed two teams. When I asked which team I was in, they told me to sit at the bench. I had no choice but to do as they say I mean they play there regularly every day. For the rest of the game, I was at the bench watching my friends play unaware that I was still at the bench waiting to get the chance to play. It would've been easier if they made me sit as a substitute but to make me seem like I'm invisible, that really hurt. But I've my own powerlessness to blame, if I were a better player they would've certainly let me play.
