The Fighter is not honorable for the sake of the fight - the honor is held within the reason.
Though bruised, he will stand
Knocked down, rise to his feet
For others, he fights
Never to retreat
I'm like you, I want to be saved - but I don't want you to see the tears that rest on my face. I'm tired of the defeat but I can't stand to see you waste your energy on me. Let me be the one who takes the blame, I'll take it for you and watch you go to fame.
Relentlessly, I train - absorb the pain. Sometimes I dream of moving up, taking the spotlight to show my face - that's not where I belong, in the shadows I remain.
How can I stop fighting for you? Your fall I could not bear to see. If it came down to it, I'd rather it be me.
I've been jealous of you, your comfort and peace. I wrestle with thoughts that wont leave. Pushing myself to be stronger is what I do - I'm a fighter, and I fight for you.
