I wrote this really fast, shoulda have gone more into detail with it, but I gotta work
He takes the snap, and scans for the open man down field
He passes long for a touchdown, the championship is sealed
He’s become a hero to every fan in the college
Wherever he goes, he’s always acknowledged
What a better way to end his senior year
It appears football could be his career
Interviews and workouts scheduled by Pro Scouts
After their complete he’s erased anyone’s doubts
Projected to be selected in the first round
It appears as if this young man is NFL bound
This has been his dream since he was small
Watching his first game he can vividly recall
He heads over to his work that night
Twinkle in his eye, a smile so bright
The shift starts, and he begins to unload the freight
As he takes stuff down there’s too much weight
His fingers lose grip, and the boxes come crashing below
He falls, and a box strikes his head with a crushing blow
He’s knocked out cold, and awakes in a hospital bed
He opens his eyes seeing no color, only darkness instead
The blow to his head, has caused the colors to fade
He lives in the Darkness, his dream taken away
