My heart is racing
My body is aching
One punch
Kick
Block
My sweat pours down my face
I’m still aching
The mentality of a warrior
Runs through my veins
I have the reins
Fighting has been my way of coping
I feel more in control
When I am sore
I fight harder
Another four punch combo
Ending with a KO
When life gets me down
I tend to frown thinking of the past
But I can’t do that
I have to look past what’s been done
And know that I can move on
So one punch
Two punch

Author's Note
Side note: I do kickboxing as a hobby and it’s been something I enjoy doing to cope with loss or frustration. I’ve developed a lot of confidence since I started doing it again. I know many people dwell on past mistakes or what they’ve been through so I hope this poem helps someone know that it’s okay to mess up and that you are able to move on just as I am
