While fighters ought to be gracious and calm, feeling fury is a sign of weakness. ( By author )

When everything droops in your wake Your stance was hollow; it was fake Your path is fair yet worth the wait That's where you should wander your fate I'd cop through a scene of wanton Key strewn bits are struck by motion Turn over sadly; roots are hay I'm vowing my last breath away. My heart calls for few gouge scorner Truth spoiled on the side of corner I am quite keen to accomplish Fight failed, but never the skirmish Dread sweeps the sight, and the mind stray Smile on the lips once sorrows spray Nose-binds to trust, waive stink disdain Heart falls with each sight; calm remains. Uproar warmly greeted my stride When the grind of routine subside. The pulse dashed at the sight I view And heart was thumping in my chew I breathed to calm my helpless feet "Stay calm and grow on," to my greet From inside, mind is home to loads It's wicked snide skimpy and goads.
