Blood Yellow

So I was building me moxy
Knowing I had to fight
At eight in the playground
Questioning my fear
Of death
Such short life squandered
I tried on heroes
None would fit
This coward
No
I'll just get my head bashed in
Go to ground
Curl up in a ball
Become smaller
In your dreams
Either way
Throw the first punch
Hard to the nose
How it goes after that
Is anybody's guess
First blow to the nose
Then give it your best
