No Pain No Gain

Such a thrilling mix of despair and delight

By J. JayPublished 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read
Drawn by me :)

I’ll watch on with glee

as you

try to control me

laugh as you’re

thrown on the ground

tossed around

I am the champion

of pen wielders like you

that scamper away after a

tussle or two

but for those that

come crawling back

three, five, ten times a setback

I cannot hide

my unknown much longer

why do you fight?

what made you get stronger?
