Fighter!

Up only to get knocked back down, 

Back to my respected corner, 

preparing for another round. 

With each blow I feel a sting, 

But i'm determined to stay in the ring. 

I cherish the bruises and cuts,

because it reminds me that i'm living. 

Life keeps knocking my ass, 

ut I get back up and I won't give in. 

Eventually my time will come, 

when the Judge will say...I WIN!!!
