Pride
Pick yourself up, dust off those clothes and stand tall, I told myself as I watched the ugly end of the fight that I was partaking. Do not let them see you on the losing end, and defiantly do not let them see you bleed, losing was one thing, but bleeding, bleeding was a sign of weakness, and you are not weak. It was go time, my blood was pumping, heart was pounding and my face felt as if it was set ablaze. This was nothing to me; a mere walk in the park compared to the last fight, it would end soon, and he would be the lifeless one not you, Jimmy, you are too angry to lose this fight, too stubborn to lay down and die. The first round punches nearly knocked my block off, but this round will be a lot worse for this chump, much more pain on his part of the ring. As I picked myself up and stared him down, with the one good eye I had, it happened, my pride crumbled beneath me. The fight had just started, and the person in front of me was damn near death, his ticker stopped working right when I was going to make my move.
