Taekwondo Competition

~~~Taekwondo Competition~~~ Taekwondo is in my blood Every day I go into battle I fight millions of fights when I am in my sleep Sometimes I am challenged by raging demons… Sparring with ease and gliding through the air A jumping back pivot kick with the ease of butter A pick kick is my most lethal weapon A reverse roundhouse will push my opponent back In three –three minute rounds of full contact Anything can and will happen At the end of a match the opponents shake hands All in a day’s brave battle For five long years undefeated in my area And now I only fight in my dreams One day when my youth is restored I will teach other kids How to also overcome their demons And I will help them keep score All in a day’s brave battle Gwendolen Rix 8-14-14
