"Round 1"

“Round 1”

The bell sounds

Round one has just begun

My body hits the ground

Many would say I'm too young

I struggle to my feet

Again I go down

I ache and am weak

Why wont I stay down

The beating is too much to take

I fall on my back

I should stay down for my sake

Logic seems to be something I lack

I look my opponent straight in his eyes

He's looking right back at me

What I see is a big surprise

How could this be

The person looking back at me

Is none other then me

How can I set myself free

This is not who I expected to see

I turn to the crowd

The place is never-ending

Not able to think the place is too loud

My time in the ring is pending

My parents are seated front row

My face battered and beat

I take the next blow

Get knocked off of my feet

Can’t they see I'm losing the fight

With no ability to raise my arm

I close my eyes to block out the light

Why hasn’t anyone sounded an alarm

I lay here all alone

The whole world against me

There’s no turning home

There’s no receiving sympathy

The person fighting me

Is none other then me

How do I set myself free

This is not how it’s supposed to be

I'll take this world head on

There’s nothing that can keep me down

I can hear them playing my song

It is time to shut this show down

I don’t care what he throws

I don’t give heed to who’s here to witness

I'll take any of the blows

I’m just about to end this

I can see my opponents lined right out the door

This fight is far from being fair

Yet I'll still knock everyone to the floor

Anyone can step in this ring I don’t care

I’m fighting anyone I've ever met

There’s nobody here that can beat me

Guy or girl I'm your best bet

How is it that I could never see

The only person who can beat me

Is none other than me

I’ve finally set myself free

Shows over nothing left to see
