Rivulets of sweat poured off,

Perspiration on temples..

Pounding heart,

Cold sweat gushing in the stream of blood.

A premonition of defeat,

Of destruction.

Frustrated of failure,

Of dereliction.

Pumping self doubt with every beat of heart.

To everyone’s bewilderment,

Frustrated individual transformed.

Transformed into a fighter,

Transformed into a warrior,

In a war against self distrust.

A battle in opposition to self was ended,

Fighter came out,

with flying colours of assertiveness.

Bleeder was now a Victor.
