My Experience With Concussion (25/11/18)

Last night I found myself dazed, bruised, disillusioned and ultimately concussed after I had a supposed collision with a striker on the football field which I had no recollection of. The events that succeeded the occurrence is such which was grey and mind boggling as I tried to reconcile what really happened to me. I found myself on the sideline without knowing when and how I found myself there with people asking if I knew what really happened to me and I kept telling them I didn't know....

We started out as friends, My heart wanted more, But my mouth kept mute, I refused to listen  To the notes of love Banging at the doorstep of my heart. I wanted to speak to you, Div...
