You are in the corner
And you can feel the pain,
Taste the blood
In your mouth
And carry on again.
So much to lose
But more to gain;
Unaware
Of the crowd
Baying for your blood tonight.
For their delight.
Get off the ropes and fight.
Adrenalin subsiding
Now only skill remains.
You are tiring,
Arms feel heavy.
Blows to head,
One more could leave you dead.
You can beat
This guy before you;
And if you do
The world
Can’t ignore you
Anymore.
And who was he?
Shame to say
It was only me.
