I see her there A dark look in her eye Smirking at me Inviting "give it a try".. My Shadow dares me Into the ring Smuggly she grins Thinks I've nothin to bring.. "You know ur smoked!" She gleefully taunts "You wanna spar with me? I'm fueled by your wants!" I shuffle my feet Timidly taking my stance The first round, a blood bath That b@tch kicked my A$$ Bruised and beat down My trainer now pleads Where is your fight girl? Ya think I brought you to bleed?! "But she's mean!" I sob.. As I spit out a tooth "She breaks every rule!" "So resentful and uncooth!" Even still she is A true part of you Learn to dance in this ring Or you, she will rule.. Now I stand with conviction To face my brutal self She may take her pound of flesh But none will leave til its dealt.. We are not so separate One good, and one bad We move with congruence Our conversation now had.. I dodge and I weave As I feel her wear out I take a few blows But I leave her no doubt.. I am in this ring Til our dealings be done She may beat me down But our pieces are one.

I see her there A dark look in her eye Smirking at me Inviting "give it a try".. My Shadow dares me Into the ring Smuggly she grins Thinks I've nothin to bring.. "You know ur smoked!"

I shuffle my feet Timidly taking my stance The first round, a blood bath That b@tch kicked my A$$ Bruised and beat down My trainer now pleads Where is your fight girl?
