Life's Fight


If life's a fight, then I'll fight
like Floyd Mayweather Jr.
In minutes, millions richer
without sweat, walk in the park.
 
Why be knocked down by life
breaking bones,
spilling blood.
Each time, you get up,
healed, scarred,
prouder, and stronger,
and more dragons to slay.

 

Then came undefeated death
irrevocably challenged
No prizes but life itself
A fight you're never prepared for.
