Concussions

Dear football although the thrill of you brings me joy I find it a struggle to be a normal boy The repeated hits to the head have left me struggling to think Even looking at the slightest sliver of light causes me to double blink Sitting in class lost in my mind wondering if football was even worth my time Losing focus at nearly every word Saying "huh" because your voice was not heard Although I'm very proud to be a football player I certainly wish the game was a bit safer
