Victory has a cost

Another victory
Another dead gladiator
I am alive for my skills
My abilities
But I had no more training
No more talent
Than the other
He slipped
I struck
The fight was over
I am alive
He is dead
I give an offering
To the god of battles
I give an offering
To my ancestors
And I remember
What I was
Before this
Became all I am
