Make Way

Here I come all bruised and battered 
With my face all shooed and tattered 

With taunts and insults all piping in 
Leaving me hopeless with no win

The sweat of blood flowing from my cheek
Slowly dripping down to kiss my feet

And as I feel the pain veiled in my heart
It’s time now to flinch the drum wrath

So make way here I come to win
With power from the soul to grin

And as I walk into the den 
I clunk my teeth all ready to defend 

For I don’t fear the rage of the beast
It’s time now to sharpen my teeth

With power from the soul within
I will win right till the fin

So make way, here I come again

Another morning mantra, Sherwin? This is nice, really. There's no stopping you, with this frame of mind. Loved these couplets. 7. Kim
