Doubt creeps
Training hard, working through pain
into the arena, a gladiator
fear and anxiety remain.
Victory or defeat matters not
but doubt creeps in
and two opponents emerge.
technique and skill abound
strength comes on in a surge
a match is done and won
as doubt slinks back into darkness
for a while and grows only to remerge
