Battle scars

Scars, are nasty… The constant reminder of a wrong move. Of delayed reaction. Of wrong judgement and misinterpreted action.The constant reminder that kicks you from the comfort zone. Keeps your guard up. Thwarts you from taking things for granted and keeps you humble. The reminder that you at least fought and got thus far…
Scars, are good…

It’s true that he had battle scars,
Yet he had learned his trade,
No longer thinking it a farce,
A game that lions played…
One lion wins, it can’t be two…
One lion takes the prize!
That’s why he’ll do what he must do…
