Heartbeat Battle

Heartbeat Battle

I step onto the court, my heart pounding,
Anxiety wraps its icy grip around me,
The weight of depression pulls me down,
But I must push through, for this is my battleground.

Sweat drips from my brow, fear coursing through my veins,
Every move, every shot, a battle against the unknown,
My mind races, trapped in a labyrinth of doubts,
Yet I find solace amidst the chaos of this game.

In a moment, the world spins out of control,
My chest tightens, breaths becoming shallow,
I stumble, feeling the shadows closing in,
Is this it? Is this how I meet my end?

But strength arises from the depths of despair,
A surge of resilience, a fight for survival,
Teammates rally, lending their unwavering support,
Together, we conquer even the darkest nights.

On this court, I am more than anxiety,
More than depression’s unrelenting hand,
I am a warrior, battling demons unseen,
And with each game, each victory, I reclaim my land.
