Fighting to Focus

Sloped the struggle

Hope means trouble

Tropes get doubled

Please don't fumble

The weight crushes

The grip loosens

The bounce happens

I slip choosing

And can't face losing

Leave no loose ends

I jump back in I try again

Fight 'till the end

With breath short

With death bored

My chest hurts

And my hands burn

Can't quit while on top

Crash the ship

Scorch the lot

When the match dies out

I guess that's the stop

Spirit world.

Hey, look, a new start.
