Post Concussion Syndrome

A young football player was the star defensive lineman in his high school

Until a shoulder pad to the side of his helmet took him out of the game

His career ended

Before it began

But he lost much more

Doctors couldn't understand

What was happening to his brain

Because they can't study

A living human brain

As time passed

The young man

Became angrier and angrier as time passed

And he couldn't understand why

His brain was fading

Because of one hit

And a lack of research

On the injury

That affects countless young athletes

Until one day

That young man

Started to hurt the ones he loved

As he couldn't control

His brain that was falling apart

So before he could hurt another

He took his own life
