Fight
Bloody knuckles
Pushing back tears
Clinching teeth
Balled up fist
Greased up face
Cornrows to the back
Passionate eyes
Steady gaze
Eager, light, prancing feet
A song in your heart
Defeat far from your mind
Time burns away
Minutes turn into seconds
Low grunts from aching ribs
And sore abs
Let flesh contact flesh
In this battle of giants
Pull out your slingshot
Grab your pebble
And aim for the head
In this game of life
We’re playing for keeps
Love always, Esha ❤
