Focus
Eyes straight ahead, leaning into my foe,
I edge up to my goals, fist to fist, toe to toe.
No crowd screaming, nor ache of blow
will sway my focus, because I know,
in life's ring, no rematch can regain what I loose.
I'm as weak as I allow, and as strong as I choose.
Distractions come - I slip left, slip right,
but I'm through with corners, now I fight.
I may not post as often for a while. I've got to kick my own tail into gear and get caught up on everything I've let slip away within the past year or so.

I really, really like this one.
Suddenly the word 'really' seems so blatantly inadequate. I can't find the word that would tell you how perfectly this post describes the struggle I face when I close my eyes.
Keep it up, girl. Keep that tortured brilliance screaming. ;) We'll be listening.
I have a poem like this...but completely different.

lol, "synapse" was also my nickname while I was studying biology in highschool. My friend called me "Synapse~~~!", and it was really funny and odd. :)Syna sounds the same as Shina, though...
Awwwww

Well....hurry back soon!
Inspirational! I like it!!! Is this the beginning of a rhyme streak? Or just an experiment?
