Poem
Inspired by Ryan Wheeler's storyline in Episode 10: Traveling Alone, Season 2 of "Kingdom". It's MMA fighting in action. Ryan Wheeler is portrayed by the exceptional Matt Lauria. Don't let the demons win. You can be a fighter. But, keep the violence to the cage, like the professionals do. Cage fighter rules By Michelle Morris 03/08/2023 Get into the cage Violence is the business Cage fighter rules Not a place for innocents Destroyer across my chest Tattoos mark my skin Remind you of my power The glory of my winning Cage fighting match Violence wins tonight I'm still the champion No one takes my title Here it is so simple Fighting with the rules It's outside where it's brutal The world has a special cruelty Where life is never fair And emotions kill you slowly You long to walk away From everything that's normal Keep the demons under wraps Never let them win Keep the violence in the cage Where we're the professionals Get out of the cage Time to face the world Deal with everybody Denial and atonement We all travel alone Even when we're in a pack We all fight our own demons No one can truly have our back Can you leave the cage? Will the cage ever leave you? Only you can walk this journey Be a fighter for your truth Your heart and soul need light Your body and mind need peace Time to kill your dad And give him sweet release The guilt will weigh on you But it's his wish to leave his prison His body that is broken His mind that's anxiety ridden Get into the cage It's where you feel at home Even though you hate it Being a fighter is all you know This cage is your own prison This cage is your own Hell This cage is your own Heaven This cage is freedom's bell Get into the cage Violence is the business Cage fighter rules Not a place for innocents Destroyer across my chest Tattoos mark my skin Remind you of my power The glory of my winning Cage fighting match Violence wins tonight I'm still the champion No one takes my title © Michelle Morris, 2023
