The Fight

I'm trying to get all my acts together

But life is pushing me back ten times as hard

I do everything I can to the best of my abilities

I knew from the beginning that this was going to be difficult

But I had never expected for it to end up like this

The leaps that I made were far greater than I had ever imagined them to be

All the sacrifices that were made would all be going to waste

The people who have brought me into this world, will all fade from my memory

As the heart monitor began to drop, so did my tiny arms and legs

It seemed like I haven't even been born into this world

Yet here I am, lying a drift in my mother's soft and gentle arms

For she was soothing my body with tears of her immense lament

Laying on her heart, I heard the thriving beat of its liveliness

I wished that this moment could have last forever

Because for a minute I was given life, now it has been take away
