A weak soldier stands before a mighty Gladiator
The Gladiator attacks, cutting the defenseless soldier down with one blow
No mercy

The soldier struggles to his feet
He sees his own mortality
Death staring him in the face

Somehow, the soldier pulls himself up
Back from oblivion
The Gladiator waits, undaunted

The soldier attacks
but the Gladiator doesn't even flinch

The Gladiator cuts him down again

The soldier stares Death in the face for a second time
He welcomes Death's embrace
The pain is just too much to handle
then the Gladiator steps in

The Gladiator pulls the solider to his feet
and waits

The solider tries to recover
He calls on the Great Warriors before him
to give him strength
and guide him through this battle

The Greatest Warrior of all answers his prayer
She gives him strength and heals his wounds
and just as quickly the Greatest Warrior is gone

The soldier faces the mighty Gladiator who had brought him to death's door twice now
With renewed strength and faith, the soldier attacks again

Finally a real battle ensues
The solider and Gladiator meet each other blow for blow
It seems the solider may have a chance

The Gladiator tries to send the soldier to his doom for a third time
and connects with a mighty blow

The soldier falters
As the pain overcomes him he is reminded of Death's warm embrace
He could end it before it consumes him for the third time

Something over comes the soldier and he raises to his feet,
a second miracle

The soldier comes back with his own mighty blow
The Gladiator falls
but is not defeated

The soldier waits

You will not kill me a third time
Just getting out some emotions...

Tho I am really happy with this piece. Im glad I managed to keep the Gladiator genderless. She may not even any respect left for me but I do for her -.-;

Run down of the meaning behind this:

Im the soldier. Aeron is the Gladiator. Kirsti is the Greatest Warrior. Ive attempted suicide twice since Aeron broke up with me. Directly because of Aeron turning into some cold heartless monster and I just wasnt strong enough to handle it.. I couldnt take her being like that when she used to be so loving to me..

Ive depended greatly on other people's help getting thru this.. but Kirsti.. oh god did she help. Just thinking about talking to her helped. And when I finally heard from her I could sleep and eat the next day. I even spent the day chasing a cute girl to distract me from my feelings. If I had stayed in today I would have surely went right back into depression.

And I was about to.. but something clicked and I was like "I NEED to leave my apartment. RIGHT NOW." And ended up talking to K and Zach and when I mentioned to K that Id be gunning for Desirae, he called her over and we hung out for a while. If it hadnt been for her having the attention span of a rock I would have gotten pretty far tonight.. but eventually I got tired of chasing her around. Ill try again tomorrow.

Then I saw something from Aeron and instantly all the pain came rushing back. I cracked my wall. And then I started writing... and the pain is gone again.

I know this "battle" isnt over but I think I finally have a fair chance.
