One Second 

I was in the air ready to head the ball 

and the next I was falling to the ground 

because someone ran into me like a truck

I felt the extension of my knee backwards,

I heard cracking 

and my body crumpled into the ground,

I swore I was falling for ages 

because I hit the ground like a sack of potatoes ,

the rush of the game halted 

and I could feel the weight of all the stares,

I tried to sink into the gound and become invisible, 

but I couldn’t help the screams from escaping,

I laid there limp until I was swarmed with coaches and trainers 

who only wanted to help, 

but I was too busy crying to get any words out.
