Hat trick

Retired at 42

Something I never thought I\'d have to do

Something that could not be foreseen

Fuck February 2019

 

My life has been eventful

Injuries I\'ve had my plate full

Piled up one after another

Scars pile on top of each other.

 

A sick sinking feeling

That my body gave up on healing

More metal than bone these days

All caused by my old ways

 

I played like nothing could hurt me

Even though most days I was in agony

I acted like nothing was bothering

Stupid attempt for popularity

 

It worked though...

 

But now I\'m on the wrong side of 40 (47 now)

I can barely walk around slowly

I\'m legally fully disabled

And I find out I\'m only days from going back on the table

 

February 3

new surgery

March 26 is another for me

Maybe I\'ll get my broken neck fixed

And go for 3... (Might as well go for the hat trick)

 

Getting old is never fun

But it\'s worse when your body rejects you...
