Dear Fighter

Dear Fighter,

You're full of hurt, full of pain, full of fear that you'll never move on, because every battle that you've faced leaves its own kind of scar.

And when you see it you're reminded of how you'll never be the same. But, fighter, let me show you how to see it in a different way.

Every mark left behind tells a story, a story of the fight you gave. And while it seems like they're because you surrendered, that's not the truth they're saying today.

Because scars don't come when you give up, they come from when you keep pressing on, refusing to break, refusing to bend, refusing to be moved at all.

And that's the determinations I see now, the fire burning on through your soul. It's the dream of hope that you carry, because you're ready to let go of the hurt.

Yes, I believe that you can make it. You're fighting harder every day. So, fighter, let's rewrite your story, right down to ever price you've paid.

Don't let the scars tell you what's ahead now, that's a future that tomorrow will bring. Only focus on each step you take now. Fighter, you're ready to spread your wings!

So, don't fight the past, because that's all said and done. It's a part of you, the part in all that you are.

But it doesn't define you, because there's freedom to change. Each step ahead is now your choice to make.

And all the pain you've felt can be put behind you today, just a reminder of the memories that you've constantly replayed.

Yes, I know it hurts now, and that may never change. So, focus on what really counts, your choice to not let it throw your life away!

There's a bold, bright future waiting out there for you, but if you dwell on what you've lost, you've only got more to lose!

The joy, the blessings, the people by your side, remember that you can always find another reason to smile.

And more tears will come ahead, more sleepless nights of pain, but I promise you that when you keep on fighting, one thing will never change.

You'll always be a fighter, and fighting's what fighters do. They keep on going, keep on pushing, because that's the one thing they can do.

Mistakes will happen, pain will come, but you don't have to lose. It may feel like everything is falling apart, but there's always an option to choose.

You can choose to keep on fighting, to keep battling even when you're afraid. Because if you never give up trying, things will just get better every day.

But if you choose to hide in fear now, fighter, you'll always be stuck this way. So, just keep looking ahead now, and you'll find courage you could never explain.

For joy doesn't come in a moment, it comes when you choose to find it.

So, if you show them you're different, now, they'll see that you've got something they don't.

You've got that power of a life full of fight now, a life you're never going to let go.

You are free, you are strong, you are hope filled and pure, and you've got so much to give if you just find the cure.

The cure to the hurt that you've stored up for so long inside, but fighter, don't you know that that cure's right behind your eyes!

Wipe the tears, lift your head, and leave it all behind, because there's more battles ahead, but now you're ready to fight.

Believe every word, believe it because it's true.

Fighter, this world needs more people like you!

If we all took a chance to just stand up and say that we're not giving up, we could change every way.

Change the ways that the world tries to lead us to loss, because each loss is a gain when you choose to respond!

You don't need what's behind. You don't need what is gone. All you need is the courage to never give up.

You just need to believe in yourself every day. Believe that you're winning when you fight another day.

Yes, there's only one way to clear what you've gone through, and fighter, that starts right inside me and you.

With a breath and a step, you can become who you really are.

And I know that the hurt will never truly go away, but fighter, have you thought of how it's helping you today?

There's a reason you're strong, and it's because you've had to face, cloud after cloud and too many rainy days.

And I'm not saying to forget what has left you broken down, but I'm calling you to turn it around, and let it fuel yourself.

So, when people ask you how you know you'll be alright, you can look them in the eye and confidently reply.

And as you inspire them, you will inspire you, because, fighter...

There's so much more fight in you.

From, Rea
