Losing makes us stronger

Losing makes us stronger

A 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

Wow :) This was amazing! I'm utterly impressed.
Your rhyming leaves things to be desired, but I love this poem...I really do.
Tell those b*****s that they won't keep you down :D
