Lovely Chaos

Fighter

I step in to the ring

I've been training for this fight

All winter

I talked trash and made you anxious

You said 3 rounds

I said until some one is knocked out

Because I'm a fighter

I won't lose I refuse to

Because I'm right

I'm right dammit

You accused me of being a quitter

And that same day I challenged you to this fight.

If I win

You have to promise me

That you'll try harder

You'll love harder

You'll change

But if you win

I will leave gracefully

With my dignity and pride

To stitch me up

Because I'm giving my all in this

I don't know what you're giving

I hope your all.

So I stand here in the ring

Waiting for you to fight me

For the right to still care

To still love

To stay.

I've been training all winter

I've been trash talking

And now you are hesitant

And reluctant

Now welcoming to the ring....
