Cloudy days inspire respect

In my head,
you're bold and brave:
fighting the invisible with strength unrivaled
by the ancient knights who fought and bested the dragons.
In my head,
you've been unevenly matched against an unrelenting foe,
but invigorated by your cheering fans you fight
and jump back up every time your opponent knocks you down.
I see a brave knave, struggling under heavy armor,
nobly charging into battle with every waking breath.
Constantly fighting, never given a break, and still smiling triumphantly.
Never defeated.
Long live this brave knave.
Long live, my friend, all the walls you crash through,
all the mountains you move,
all the kingdom cheers for you.
Sometimes I pray to the gods watching over us,
here on this little medieval court,
that they could let you see
what I see
in my head.
