It’s Never Really Super Being Sub

(Sam Cohen’s poem)

I’ve trained just the same

For every single game

But I’m on the bench again

It’s never really super being sub

The practice has been fine

I’ve put in the same time

But I’m always twelfth in line

It’s never really super being sub

I know my job and understand

Listened to the game plan

But I’m still the last man

It’s never really super being sub

Squad player – that’s me

Waiting here patiently

For my opportunity

It’s never really super being sub

One chance – all I ask

I know I’m up to the task

It’s a test I know I’ll pass

It’s never really super being sub
