Analysis of My Worst Fight

JOHN ALLEN SKINNER 1971 (Fort Worth)



He charged at me like a raging bull and,
I was a big red dot.
He swung as fast as
the winds of a hurricane 5 trying to make it a 6.
He brought waters high as a tsunami,
trying to drown my happiness and wash it away forever.
I stood there like the full moon,
glowing upon every living thing in darkness.
I kept smiling like the sun,
even though it was snow and ice on the ground.
my positive attitude made the day as beautiful as
the flowers blooming in spring.
He fell, and I rose my hands up in victory.
I had concord the one who tried to destroy me,
my worst enemy,
I beat Myself.
