The Gladiator

As the Gladiator waited for the door to open, his whole life flashed in front of his eyes,

All the glory he ever felt, all the lies he ever told, all the people he had lost and all their cries.

Amidst all the cheer, he had lived his dream, amidst all the darkness, he had lived as The Sun,

And today he was going in to fight, and today he was going all alone, with nowhere left to run.

All his life he had wanted this but today he felt scared, all his life he had wanted this but today he was afraid,

This would be his toughest battle yet because he could die, this would be his toughest because he would end up, slayed.

He wiped his forehead and put his helmet on, he took out and brandished the Sword, his only friend,

As he heard men shout his name, he braved a smile and decided it wouldn't matter if this was his End.

He was going against certain death today and he felt proud, he was sure to kill the Beasts like mice,

The Door opened and The Gladiator went in, fearless, his whole life flashing in front of his Eyes.
