Page 41 - Fallen Thoughts

I won’t stop fighting,
For those people who agree,

With the words whispered.

I know those are lies.

Whether they come from within,
Or all around me.

I’ve fought far too long,
For someone to come and rip
Away my progress.

Now I fight outside,
If there are two battle grounds,
Well then, so be it.

I don’t want to fight
With you, but if you force me,

I’ll meet your challenge,

With my head held high,

And fire blazing in my eyes.
I am my own shield.

How can I be proud?
Of who I am? Where I’ve been?
How could I not be?
