#lifebattles
***
A soldier once stood in the rain,
Where courage was tested by pain.
Though swift men had fled,
He lifted his head—
And guarded the ground he'd regain.
For battles are rarely won fast,
But by those whose resolve will outlast.
Step steady, stand true,
Let duty guide you—
And the fiercest of storms shall be passed.

I try to fit in,
I try to believe,
That maybe someday,
They’ll like me better,
Than I like me.
It’s a constant battle,
A fight I can’t resist,
To put myself down before others,
Oh why do I persist?
I’ve been bullied,
I’ve been shunned,
This I can’t forget.
It hurts deep down inside,
So it is myself that I subject.
Why is it that,
When I want to make friends,
All these memories,
Come flooding back to me again?
I thought after all these years,
After all this time,
I had found,
That bright burning light.
I guess it isn’t so,
But maybe it is,
Confusion engulfs me,
Just as sadness did.
