I Fight

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.
