Today I'm fighting,
Fighting a battle that no one knows about.
It's not battle like in war;
Not like the battles that are happening in Iraq.
It's my battle, my very own personal battle.
Do you ever notice?
The scars that appear on my arms?
These are my battle scars-
That no one knows about.
I am fighting my hardest.
Fighting my best to stay alive.
I hope that I'm going to win,
But each day just gets harder.
Yes today like any other day I am fighting a battle.
I am fighting a war,
But you won't notice,
You can't help,
This is my battle,
No one can join in-
Even though many have,
But they are fighting against me.
One day you'll notice my wounds.
One day you'll notice my scars.
One day you'll notice how hard I tried,
But it will be noticed too late.
Too late for you to act like you care.
As I would have lost my last and final battle.
My very own battle to stay alive.
Today like many other days I am fighting,
Fighting a battle that no one knows about.
It's not battle like in war;
Not like the battles that are happening in Iraq.
It's my battle, my very own personal battle.
