Wrestle

In the ring alone, 
Gloveless and silent
The competitor walks down
Challenge in his eyes

Is that what he wants
Who is better, who's stronger
It is my ring now,
I'm in the centre

Yet putting on his gloves
He steals the middle
Interrupting my silence,
My gloveless moment

And I just stand firm
I will not give in
Blow me, black me out,
I will still remain gloveless

In their corner, far away
I won't challenge by a fight
My soul may not feel alright
But I will still stand firm

I will avoid the wrestle

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
