We meet again,
My enemy.

When first we met
I was small,
I was weak,
Nothing compared to you.

When first we met
You saw an insect,
You saw no threat,
Not worth your time killing.

You were wrong.

I once feared you
Your visage haunted me,
Your power terrified me,
I couldn't possibly compare.

I once feared you.

But no longer.

I stand before you
A hero,
A challenger,
Fear has no hold on me.

I stand before you
Your bane,
Your end,
I have grown.

I once feared you,
Now I defy you.

I was once weak,
Now I am strong.

Do you regret not killing me now?
That moment you stare down the final boss in a game, where you look back at all your progress, how long it took you to get here and smile. In that moment I kill my enemy but I thank him for making me who I am. I thank him for making me strong.

Been there so many times!!! But I also think of the real life battles that are no different, the hardest things we face in life, are our final boss fight. Good write, my friend.
