The fight in me
Designed so intricately
Lays there peacefully
Hoping so patiently
To be displayed gracefully
As I nurture it insatiably
I feel it growing vigorously
A lot more playfully
A lot less viciously
I'll admit I embrace it openly
How it can consume me entirely
It has helped me defensively
While helping others protectively
It caused me to hurt my family
Due to the decisions I made poorly
It's burned bridges occasionally
As my rage would leap wildly
Left me broken painfully
Alone cold feeling empty
Although it serves me faithfully
Giving strength to handle adversity
Allowing me to love unconditionally
Fighting is what saved me honestly
It's not always so bad truthfully
Im a fighter living passionately
