Leave it all on the floor
your blood
your sweat
your tears
Leave it all
your hopes,
and dreams
bare your soul
in all its awful ****** glory
take everything
cheers
jeers
every cry of exhaustion
of pain
of fear
of disappointment
whatever they throw at you
take it
to be great is to risk weakness
retaliate
a thousand-fold
every movement
every effort
every waking moment
in stark defiance
of insurmountable odds
of a defeat that seems destined,
of odds against.
Regret is for tomorrow
and this moment
isn't.
