Man with a plan

So this was part one of a four part poetry project I did my freshman year on the book Friday Night Lights. Hope you enjoy!
 

I had a plan

 
It was to play football in college 


I never thought it would change


Then suddenly as if in a twist of fate my world turned upside down 


An unstoppable injury, a possible surgery 


The coaches think it is impossible for to go back to the glory I had once had 

That my glorious and famous career was destroyed 


But as I play glimmers of the old me come back 


Only for a second, a moment 


Then in a dash it is gone 


I fumble awkwardly with the ball as if I am a rookie


I had a plan

But something had changed and that plan 

That so called wonderful dream 

Disappeared 

And now that it's gone I don't know how I will go on
