boldly she snaps
until hardened steel connects.
mangled flesh is not the only wound.
Pain.
There is no way around it --
unavoidable,
so I square up to meet
my destiny and faithfully
stride on.

You have an interesting style that certainly coveys the feeling. I like the first line, boldly she snaps, and the observation, mangled flesh is not the only wound........Jerry

wow--there is so much power in this write!

Though you do not post often when you do you offer us such splendid hard hitting visually graphic work that it leaves a lingering impression long after the last word is read. As always...great work.
