Life vs Me


Life landed a hard blow on my right chin
My vision blurred, my ears started ringing
My body wanted to give up
But my heart refused
I shook my head vigorously
Splattering my sweat and blood all around
And looked at life with a triumphant grin
Life was visibly angry
It landed a hard blow on my left chin this time
I could feel blood running down my face
The pain was intolerable
My left hand was fractured
My right knee was seriously injured
My nose would not stop bleeding
My left eye was turning blind
I had already urinated on myself
There was no more need to go on
But my heart refused
I wiped my blood and balanced myself again
I taunted at life to land another blow
Life looked extremely irritated
"Why wouldn't you just give up?" It asked me
My left eye went completely blind
But I could still muster up a smile
"Why wouldn't you just give up?" It repeated angrily
And landed a hard punch on my chest
My heart stopped briefly
My body turned cold
I fell down on my knees, my right knee paining excruciatingly
When my heart started beating again
Its rhythm was inconsistent
But it would not give in easily to life's blow
Slowly, rising to my feet again
I faced life
"How do you expect to break me....
....when you were the one who made me?"
I asked, and I spit out blood that had collected in my mouth
I taunted at life to hit me again
I had an unconquerable heart
And liters of blood to spare
The fight had just begun.
