It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye

They said I wasn’t fit. 

They said I was too slow. 

A turnover machine. 

A defensive liability. 

Only good at scoring goals. 

Selfish.

Hard to manage.

Complicated.

Infuriating.

A black hole.

A bad teammate.

Too old.

And my personal favorite….

The weirdest world-class athlete ever.
