The kick off

Goal post to eternity

I chose poetry

Instead of standing for the anthem.

And by the time the anthem finished

With the word "brave",

Way before the kick off,

I was gone, way gone.

I've never compared myself to a football before

But to that spirit

That launched my ass,

Thanks for getting me out of there.

But now I may need you again

To remind me of what it feels like

To be brave.
