honourable discharge.

a warrior with a broken body will still take you on
a warrior with a broken sword will do likewise
a warrior with a broken will cannot do anything;
he will simply lay down his sword and walk away.

simply because he knows it is over.

some say that a sword will always be a sword and that no matter what happens, a sword cannot change its form or purpose. but i believe they didn't consider the fact that swords, after repeated use, start to rust and get blunt.

so you see, it is over. really.

i am no warrior and i don't have any swords. but i think the whole experience is one money cannot buy. now i see the world. the real world. things that i've been so sheltered from in the past. this is the world. i wish everyone all the best in upcoming matches and pray that they will make it to be plate champions.

now i hang up my boots
and fold up my jerseys and shirts.
and put away my socks.
because for me, the fight is over.

but anyway, thanks for asking.
