The Reigning Champ
I step into the ring, my heart filled with fright
I bow my head, as I take on my plight
I notice the crowd cheering, and I see my opponent stare
I feel my blood boil because I feel a little scared
Fear was its name, the one that threw the punch
I was in its game, and surprisingly I ducked
It missed cause I faced it
And the dobts, well I erased it
I waltzed on feeling like a queen
Cause I was the one that was mean, I lived the dream
I walked off hearing the crowd cheer
All because I defeated the reigning champ: fear
