Beating like the drums of war
My head throbs.
The troops
Stumping on hard ground
Moving through my neurons.
I close my eyes
Let the battle take over
In the hope I
t will be a brief battle
And my body wins.
Heat is rising
Eyes burning
Heavy breath
Blood rushing
Aching from the fight
Bones creaking
Joints shaking
This battle determines the war
The soldiers inside me fight
Hope it's brief
End this fight
Win the day
Through breath and faith
