You Must Win

October 22nd, 2020

(In Poetry class, free writing on “right of man”)

Extremely nervous

Holding your breath

Sitting on the edge of your seat

You are so eager

To grab

That glorious medal

You must be a king

As what you used to be

But now

Like a cowardly boy inside

Full of desire in your red eyes

You are so scared to lose

You sit on the edge of your throne

You don't allow yourself to be defeated

You must win
