Analysis of One Shot
Far from the arenas and the spectacle
Victories are won
Where the witnesses are few
Victories are forged
It’s not every day you stand up
And confront your demons
It’s not every day you accept

In the fits and distractions
You were bound and defeated
Until someone took you by the hand
And said, “Aim higher”
Out of your entropy
And into your destiny
One shot was made
And the rest they say is,
