Fighting Poems - Poems about Fighting

Looking in the mirror I saw an image it was clear. I told my reflection you are loved and shed tear No longer prisoner to shame, I watched my shoulders slowly rise.

Ink Drops Like Rain The Devil tried to take a bite of me. I watched his ringlets twirl. I've finally reached the spot where I knew I was going to be. It's a lose lose, to hell and back to tell all that I see. I asked for pens from the devil's guard. He thinks he knows...

Pitbull Boxing the rules have changed/ It's a little different in this pitbull Boxing ring/ We fight till the death, nothing more or less/ There's no time to think, no time to catch your breath/ Put your paws up, I'll make you suck a knuckle/ Step into the ring, I'll beat you to the buckle/ Once I lock on you, there's...
