Poem on life

Life is a wrestling match,
tough and hard.
Opponents would attack fiercely,
and you need to bear with pain.
When you are knocked down,
you bleed with pain.
But regardless of the pain,
you still need to stand up and fight again.
You still need to fight on till you win or faint,
because in life there is no backing out.
