I stand on the sideline
My body can take being benched
I limp when I walk
My knee hurts but my body can take it
I smile when I play
But it's always in the back of my mind:
I'll have to ice my knee for days after this, I'll be so in pain that I could barely walk, I'll cry and scream because somewhere I lost my dream
I never thought I would regret a practice
I never thought something could hurt this much
5 years ago I went to a practice, that I now regret going to
5 years ago I went through surgery
5 years ago my world fell apart
Ever since then I have had a love/hate relationship with ice
Ever since I haven't played a game
Ever since it hurts every single day
Not only my body hurts,
My mind is scattered
If there's something I could not take;
It's me not playing the game I once fell so in love with ⚽️
