I Have Been Fighting This Battle

My opponent is *5 times my size
,
and 50 times my strength.

And as the fight goes on,
it begins to grow.
And I begin to shrink.

So before long it is towering over me.

STOMPING OUT all the fight I have left.


In this game the hero looses.

But the Devil goes down with me,
because without the fight,
or the victim.

*The Devil has no peace.
I have been told that this poem has a very strong impact on people, which is exactly how it effected me. This poem didn't make me stop fighting, it convinced me not to give in and to keep going. You can find the poem reflecting this positive outcome in my poetry, it is called Complete Victory. This poem is also going to be published in World Poetry Movement's book 'Stars in our Hearts' I want to thank everyone supporting me SO much, because this is an freaking amazing accomplishment at 13! And was conveniently at the top of my Bucket List... ;) I hope you enjoyed reading!
