Sweat and blood

Standing in the arena ...
His eyes are blurry...
All he could sense is
Sweat and blood
Yells and screams of cheers
There must be huge crowd

It is really hot... 
His heart is rapidly pounding..
He barely could breathe... 
Suddenly without seeing..
A punch to his face was shot...
On ground he falls
Facing the cold surface...

All he could feel is pain... 
Throughout his body and mind... 
The world went silent
Like no one was there...
Sweat and blood 
he could taste... 

The world goes dark...
and he relaxes...
In his mind he thinks...
oh the ground is so soft..
May be this is what I should do..
Lying here till the end of time...
His muscles started to relax... 
His heart slowed down.. 
He could finally breathe fine... 
As he was lying on the ground... 

He opened his eyes…
Blinded by lights..
He couldn’t see what was going on…

He became aware of the cheers again
Wait!  It is familiar..
Where is that coming from…
His eyes turned really wide..
He saw himself standing up..
Is this a dream or what?
Or am I dead? He says

He then had the urge
That made him stand back up…
To face this horrible fight..

He slowly rose back up…
With all the sweat and blood…
