Trophy Or No Trophy

A poem

Steady steady steady
My heartbeat slows down
Your shadow disappears
The writing is clear, the exit is here
Time to face what’s been festering
One word, two words, the whole story
One word, two words, let it all crumble
Shackles or no shackles, I care not
Now I know that the fight trumps the trophy
I know a loss would still be a win
when this story finally lives outside my chest

Thanks for reading 💕
