Champion
Life is like boxing—
You’ll face the hits, endure the falls,
Go through the training, and rise through it all.
You’ll get knocked down more times than you’d like,
But each fall teaches you how to fight.
Eventually, you grow tired of the ground,
So you learn to block, to stand your ground.
Every punch that once knocked you flat
Starts to miss, because you’ve mastered the comeback.
Yes, you’ll stumble, you’ll falter, you’ll sway,
But that’s just part of finding your way.
In the end, it’s not about being the best—
It’s about showing up, giving your best.
And when the final round is through,
You’ll be the champion—standing tall, standing true.
