On the ground again
My face bloodied
My skin torn
Jagged
Retched
Blood pools
Like sweat onto pavement
Empowered
By the shock
The thrill
I rise
Unexpected
Unhindered
By the forces
Pinning me down
Broken
I may be
Defeated
I am not
Defiance
Anger
Frustration
I rise again
And again
Unafraid
Unashamed
Of who I am

Of who I am
