It all makes sense
For years
I've wondered
Why do gladiators
Yell?
What emotions
Are running through
Their veins?
Having now
Experienced it
Firsthand
Hands shaking
From the sheer excess
Of adrenaline
Fear of dying
Mixed with elation
From winning
Overcoming the
Immense impending
Danger
Present not too long ago
Yelling outright
Was a form of release
An outlet for all
The pent up emotion
A cry for victory
Knowing that freedom
Was short-lived
But well-deserved
For in that very
Moment
All that mattered
Was the triumph
