doesn’t mean

you have no pain

it doesn’t mean

you aren’t broken.

it means they hit you,

they went for the knockout–

punch, left you for dead,

but you were still breathing.

now we all wait

for the final round,

(we see you are bleeding),

rise again

walk towards your demon–

(god help the demon)

hey, they’re cheering for you

can you hear them cheering?
