Playing Football Was The Cause


Playing football was the cause Ligaments stretched in my knee So during baseball season I had to pause I didn’t wait long enough and that was key. Hit a double and that was trouble I broke down at second Something tweaked and I began to stumble At that instance my thoughts were darkened. A Magnetic Resonance Imaging was done Doctor said results would take a week I knew my knee was weak But still I prayed to the almighty man. A week passed by The doctor said it was my ACL All I wanted to do was cry I looked up to the sky and asked why? Now I’m here the day before surgery Thinking why did it have to happen to me But I know I won’t be scared and scurry Because I know this happened for a reason.
