I.
Slammed!
No matter how I try
To avoid the slings of arrows
The slice of the sword
Or the strike of the club.
II.
Even my armor
Can’t slight the blows
Even my shield
Can’t slight the blows.
III.
Damn!
The wounds
Damn!
The pain.
IV.
Losing is the worst.
The Defeat
is the hardest
to swallow.
V.
…..To accept.
