I'm a boxer yet i got picked on
I know how to fight yet i lost every fight to my bullies
winning isn't everything
not when it's against your bullies
that doesn't solve anything
i pretended
i seemed weak and meak to them
i had the advantage
because i just didn't care
and the only weapon
they used
were their hands
so i was the one winning
HOW?
easy!
simply by faking that i was hurt
i gave them the satisfaction they wanted
the more the wacked me
the stronger my body became
THE MORE PAIN I TOOK THEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE MORE PAIN I CAN TAKE NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
those two things are the key to this story
the bullies
//////////////// were life
the pain
//////////////// was the challenge the life gives
so take for this what you will
believe me or forget me
but what i took from the bullies helped me out in the world
life is truely beautiful when everything hurts, kicks, punches, and beats you
life is truely beautiful when life hits you hard and knocks you back a few
that's when the old saying comes in to play
"Get back up on your feet
And start moving again"
but in this cause it's
"Get back up
and hit harder"
to a boxer these words "you are worthless"
hit so hard it's not even funny
but life is all about getting hit
cause life itself always hits
deaths, friends moving, couples breaking up
that's when you have to get back up and keep moving forward
cause when you get hit and give up
your not getting what your worth
you gotta fight to get what your worth
in my case i fought long and hard
cause yes i lost every fight to them but in the end i always won
cause who got introuble when i came in bloodly and torn and broken?
THEM
who got introuble when i was being beaten infront of the school?
THEM
who got introuble for punching me during class right infront of the teacher?
THEM
so who won?
ME
i was smart it was hard but i got through it
it was tough and painful but it's all behind me now
so again
who really won?
think about this poem and really reflect on it

Hi there. I see the passion behind the words. I also see that you are intuitive enough to figure out the roles that physical sports can play on the psyche.
I would say that this would make a good 'Journal' entry since it is so personal.
If you decide to repost it, that option will be on the RIGHT menu under "Related Links". That way, it will be viewed in an entirely different way and not being acessed primarily for the 'art' of it.
Thank you for your invitation to read. I'm glad I did.

Wow, Such a powerful write. I really love this poem it's very inspirational. It makes me smile because you are right. You won everything. Even when it felt like you were losing and the bullies are just blinded by victory so they think they won and they think they became stronger but honestly they became weaker. Because later in life they will regret everyone they hurt and feel alone in their life
