Losing makes us strongerA Poem by Kyle W. Hunt
I pack up my gear
And enter the ring A punch swiftly comes that makes my face sting The crowd rises in cheers As I fall to the ground The ref starts counting Thinking I'll stay down I tug on the lines And lift myself up I crawl to my corner And spit in my cup This fight is not over There is another round The crowd cheers louder As the bell sounds My feet move to the beat My arms side to side The opponent runs away Looking for a place to hide He finds a little corner Up against the ropes Where I can pounce on my prey And crush all his hopes As I'm ready to attack The bell sounds again My heart drops to my stomach For I know its the end The ref lifts the opponent's hand High in the air If I had just one more minute! It just isn't fair! I walked away a loser With my held held low But I promised that day I wouldn't lose to the next foe
