I fought my way to the top of the ranks,
Dueling fiercely, all for this game with little thanks.
I chased endlessly after the challenges as they unfurled,
And now, I find myself at the top of the world.
The life of World Champion has proved to be bleak,
Everyday, after your title someone will seek.
Morning after morning is a test of survival,
For a new day, brings yet another rival.
Existence of mine depends often on my deck and skill.
As for every duel, I bring out a Blue Eyes for the kill.
A new challenge arises, and I heed the call,
It's just another rookie for my Dragons to maul.
I approach the battlefield, my head held high,
Heart disregarded, all my faith on a Dragon blue of eye.
The battle rages fierce, the edge never leaving me,
My foe fights on, unaware of the threat she couldn't see.
But then the end comes, her points hit zero,
And I emerge, still the dueling hero.
I smirk and grin and sneer, still undefeated,
Telling the world that I am deep-seated.
But my gaze returns to my foe,
And her eyes tell of an endless woe.
Thoroughly beaten, she smiles and tries to hide,
Just how much I wounded her pride.
Her footsteps leave, her face long gone,
Though the memory of our duel far from done.
I stop my sneers and cease my victory cries,
Now all I could see was the hurt in her eyes.
A tear coursed down my cheek, and I suddenly felt shy.
Whoever heard of a Duelist that knew how to cry?
