VICTORIOUS

As I train
Blood, sweat and the occasional tear
To test my brain
To have no fear
It’s not how hard you can hit
It’s about how hard you can take a hit
You need a heart like a lion
The strength of an ox
No more cryin’
You are in the box
AND FIGHT
It has started, the ring speaks now
No words needed
Do your best
Or be defeated
Its not just about the fight
Its about life
Are you full of might?
Or full of strife?
Its up to you
What’s it gunna be
The pain of a failure
Or victory
