Readysetsigh


Dig your heels in

Let your feelings fly

for you're in the emotional arena

Either you kill or you die

Finding neither friend nor foe

no two contestants are alike

Victory is insignificant 

But with failure one can't abide

trapped in the nexus

of Desire vs. Comfort

One lets their thoughts fly

lest they be encumbered

and pulled into the ground
