The Battle Zone

There are unending fired shots
which keeps one on their toes 
to always push to be great.
Bullets emanates from varied firearms; 
where some targets are locked in, 
some aimed at and others 
to be picked by stray bullets. 
One has the chance to either retreat
or face their fears.
Retreating saves a part of you 
but equally makes you weak. 
The brave shields and fight back 
with fierce resistance.
Surprise counters at times 
downplays opponents' perceptions 
and mindsets about situations. 
This sometimes equals victory.
And such resultant wins, 
equates to being given a trophy
at the negotiation table.
