Can he beat it,
to find the strength?
Can she bear it,
sustain the extra length?
Can he take it,
when the punches never stop?
Can she break it,
strive to climb up to the top?
He can beat it,
change the rules and sets.
She can bear it,
when the pain, she forgets.
He can take it,
ignore the – talk, the taunts.
She can break it,
the limits, chains, the haunts….
