Tackled

Slammed down,
beaten for points,
helplessly getting bruised over and over again.
Yet, you find the strength to over power,
get out of lock and chains,
that try to trap and bind you.
You have the ability to overpower,
your opponent yet you choose not too.
If it's battle of the sexes,
why would you let them win,
yet you say and ego,
that big losing,
can leave them damaged,
unwelcome awakening,
that can leave them more hurt than you.
Defend who you are,
without letting someone see you sweat.
But don't lose or don't win.
Its not a tie,
Whose really going to win now??
