A warrior


My head sank in my hoddie as I entered the ring Knowing that my identity will be revealed without this thing The announcer said my name "RJ" But my opponent's name was "DJ" I refused to shake the hand of the guy Instead I tightened my hand's tie I was ready to do the thing I love Even if I had to wear this sweaty glove I let a low, long sigh When the bell rang to signify The beginning of the fight I studied my opponent from his strength to his height Everything became in slow motion Everything seemed to be frozen I breathed in slowly Walking around the ring wisely I gave him the chance to make the first move But he shook his head in disapprove I attached DJ with the power I have Ready to knock out this psychopath I brought my fist to his cheek I smirked in satisfaction when I heard him shriek "This one is easy" I thought to myself But he definitely does not approve himself He swung his hand in the air weakly Because I dogged it so easily I punched him in the ribs Which caused blood to escape from his lips I felt him go dizzy But I did not feel any pity For I am a warrior Only become stronger I knocked him down with a last punch I won the match with my own touch I pulled the hoddie back The crowd was taken aback For they did not think I am a girl As pretty as a pearl I bowed and laughed at their shocked faces But I did expect some praises I took the money and went to my room I took a bath and sprayed some perfume I walked out of the building Knowing that I am proving That a girl is not weaker than a boy A girl is not just a toy So next time you think of a girl Think about a warrior who never quites
