I am a Camper
April 14, 2014
Here I sit motionless, waiting for my chance.
Calm and steady, as I let the time pass.
Remaining hidden with my goal in my mind.
The opponent passess aimlessly: now is the time.
A leap into action, guaranteed not to fail.
I’m the best that I know with the will to prevail.
How could this happen? A stab in the back!?
All that time wasted to find that someone followed my track.
But legacies are defined by those who get up
after facing defeat, and brushing off the mud.
That is why I’m the best that I know-
stare defeat in the face and tell it to go.
