THE GREATEST BATTLE is the battle within…

            Yesterday, you broke a heart. Today, you got your grades—all in big red marks. Tomorrow, you try to fix yourself again…one trouble at a time. Everyday is a battle, and life is the arena. And if you wish to win before it’s GAME OVER, let me take you to level one—your inner battle.

           Standing in this huge arena

                     called life…

           Is a man with a vision,

                    daring and ready for the strife.

           Oblivious to peril unknown…

           the victor’s cup—the only goal

           Quitting, here, is not an option

           for what entails, fate of soul.

          In the midst of the struggle,

                       Virtue is earned…

          When seized by the burdens of trouble,

                      Foibles of character changed.

          Roars of victory…

         Groans of defeat…

         As the battle meets its conclusion,

         I see my foe is but my own.
