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
