A Poem by Gabrielle

My hand was made strong

And I just want to fight like everyone else,

But I’m just a kid like everyone else.

No one takes me seriously,

But I always promise to be good.

  

They let me fight one day;

We were pushing each other to the limits.

I can’t unsee what I saw that day,

I try to forget it any way I can.

No matter what I do,

They’re still in my memories.


I bet they never even thought about the glitter dancing on the skin,

I bet they forgot that just flesh and blood exist,

I bet they forgot I’d grow up.

I bet they forgot now I’m twenty years old .


They told me to get in there,

And you choose the road.

They told me to try harder and to punch harder,

To dedicate yourself and you can find yourself.


Here I go into the ring for the first time since i was 7 years old,

There’s my opponent.

He looks tough;

But so am i.

I look at him and say ‘you ain't seen nothing like me yet.’

And the bells go off.
