No, maybe I can&#039;t win, maybe the only thing I can do is just take everything he&#039;s got. But to beat me, he&#039;s gonna have to kill me, and to kill me, he&#039;s gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me, and to do that, he&#039;s gotta be willing to die himself and I don&#039;t know if he&#039;s ready to do that. I don&#039;t know, I don&#039;t know.<br /> Rocky Balboa<br /> Rocky IV (1985)

Prepared for anything
like soldiers on the front
line.
Willing to do their job,
regardless of the
outcome.

Their only purpose,
to make good from our
mishaps.
To help overcome some
of the many challenges
we must face daily.

Very under appreciated,
but very helpful indeed.
For this I am thankful,
and write this poem to
you,
Napkins.

I originally wrote this as an English assignment. My teacher told me how he really liked how I had written a poem about something that many people wouldn't think to write poems about. When he told me about Teen Ink I decided to submit my work and se what other people thought about my poetry.
