Best Poems Written by Chance Lande

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
