Historic battle

Didnt eat for the whole day
Just practiced with the swords
One in the left
and one in the right hand
Fighting against each other
Didnt sleep in the night as well
Just did the practice
As the next day
There was this big fight
The fight which
would decide it all.

Started for the war venue
Before the dawn
Was there on the the ground
All dressed up
for the big occasion
Both the hands were already wounded
During the practice
But that was a sign...
of bravery and preparedness.
Standing tall I waited for the enemies
To arrive.
And fight the historic battle
Which would settle
for once and for all
Who is the winner.

They never arrived.
The only other thing
on the battle ground
apart from me
was my shadow
Fighting against me
And then I realised
What have I made out of myself
- an enemy!
whose only motive is..
To fight against me.
To destroy my being
To win against me.
