Once upon a time in your life you believed
It would never change
Every part of it fit like a glove
Never to be rearranged

You smiled and you laughed without a worry
Enjoying your role in life's game
As time quickly passed, not once did you blink
Everything remained the same

But then came the day you found yourself on
The sidelines wanting back in
You could not believe how you were removed
From the game you were certain to win

And time after time the chance would arrive
To force your way back on the field
But every attempt eventually failed
And persistence soon became yield

Once upon a time at your death
The clock ticked away as you sat in unrest
Angry and anxious while watching the game
You turned on your life in protest

To realize what was up was now down
You turned to the bottle and sank
And as you slid into deep misery
You found solace in all that you drank

Until one day when those demons attacked
And your mind was captured for good
The solution, you thought, was to finish your life
And in this, you knew that you would

You began to think about loved ones you’d hurt
Yet you knew what had to be done
You climbed to the top of the stadium’s stairs
And flew straight into the sun

And as you slip into unconsciousness
You think about what you did know
That they would believe this death was your end
But your ending was long time ago

Once upon a time at your death
Life threw in its own monkey wrench
Broken and beaten, and out of the game
You could not remain on the bench

"If this grand panaorama before me is what you call God... then God is not dead."

Sometimes though, the dark just creeps all over your brain, and wrong looks right, and dark looks light, and sadly, down looks like up...

As I was reading, I was trying to see whom you were writing of, and I am seeing a sports legend but no matter the ailment, damn, life is a tough card to play.
