With everything I am,
And everything I have,
I fight the pain.
I fight the never ending hurt.
I fight myself.
•
I pull back from the blade.
I push away from the darkness.
With everything I have gone through,
I can't fall.
Not again, no, never again.
•
I hid from everyone.
I held everyone at arms length
So they wouldn't see the scars.
I concealed the tears.
I was alone.
•
I never had anyone help me fight.
I brought that on myself.
It was all my fault.
I never knew I would need someone.
I thought I was strong, but I was so weak.
•
I fight my demons
As opposed to letting them cover me.
I fight the pain
Instead of letting it blind me.
I fight because I have you.
•
You make me strong.
You breathe life into my bloodless body.
You help me see that I am worth it.
You are my reason.
