The Unexpected Outcome

Awaiting that moment,
Nervous like facing an undefeated opponent
But this is much worse
Anything can happen.

He’s scared it may hurt
Talking like a burst of flames trying to keep him tame
Extinguish the anxiety but to no avail.

Sept 14 fails in comparison,
This is the “One” resting under the sun
Mouth dry
Body’s numb
Fatigue’s spreading like the flu.

When it’s all over does his Spidey sense come back to him?
Another experience
He’s growing
In heart and might,
Courage and fight,
All by himself
He disappeared through the doors
