The day was good,
The air was fine,
As I stood,
This task was mine.
My duty to stand,
Outside and see,
With nothing to hand,
Just Them and me.
I summoned my strength,
For the battle that dawned,
I stretched to full length,
And confronted the horned.
They breathed the smoke,
Of items banned,
Then I spoke,
With power to hand.
I cast off my shroud,
Stood tall,
And proud,
But still swift was my fall.
They broke me down,
With their poisoned tongues,
With shattered crown,
And tired lungs.
I sought a fast retreat,
From this perilous group,
For I feared they would eat,
My flesh in a soup.
A compromise made,
And a blind eye turned,
How my courage did fade,
How my face burned.
Ashamed and shocked,
My confidence lost,
How they must have mocked,
Oh how my actions had a cost.
Then along he came,
In armour bright,
To stop their sick game,
An unlikely knight.
He fought that beast,
While I fled,
T’was done at least,
Never again I said.
(I wrote this poem today to try and get over an incident that happened at lunch time. It's just been thrown together really, so most of the rhymes are sloppy. I haven't submited any poetry before, so I decided to submit this. As of yet, I'm stuck for a title. I'm not even sure it deserves a title. I just felt like posting it to see what people think of it.)
