Two poems....

I thought I would post two poems here for the price of one.  One I wrote a few weeks ago and just got down to posting in hand written form, and the other just came to me literally out of the blue!

Knockout

When life hits, it hits hard
Making us bleed, leaving scar after scar
Kicking us and punching us when we are down
Begging us to give up while we lay on the ground
Left hook. Right hook. Uppercut its all the same
As the blood flows we look who to blame
Becoming stronger we make it through the pain
Lessons in life is what we gain
Aches and thoughts run through the mind at night
Mentally preparing ourselves for the next fight
