Boxing Ring


I've been in this ring for what feels like an eternity. Sometimes I get within reaching distance of the ropes, but for some reason, I let my guard down, and get sucked back in.

I am determined now. I will NOT let him win. No, wait. This fight has already been won.

No more mind games. He will not trick me any more.

Wait. What is that sound? It's so strange. Could it be...cheering? People are cheering for ME? I have never felt like this before.

I feel energized and renewed. I am ready to fight, but this time....I have the advantage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It feels like I have lost this fight
They think that I am staying down
But I 'm not giving up tonight
Tonight the wall is coming down
I am stronger than my fears
This is the mountain that I climb
Got 100 steps to go
Tonight I'll make it 99...."

"I have everything to lose
By not getting up to fight
I might bet used to giving up
So I am showing up tonight
I am my own enemy
The battle fought within my mind
If I can over come step one
I can face the 99...."
