the heroes of
those action movies
from the 80s and 90s
always looked
so much cooler
with their split lips
and bloodied noses
than i ever could
as they faced off
against the villain
of the piece
bruised and aching
they would struggle on
regardless of pain
their success set back
but inevitable nonetheless
to be honest
i would love to see
one of those heroes
try to overcome
the villain
of my peace
i've had plenty
of nose bleeds
through the years
but most of them
self-inflected
