I know

lately things have not seem fair and maybe that’s why you’re so mad for you need more and now life is more of a struggle for you.

You want to help out but what are you really offering right now that would have you being someone we would truly stop and say wow they do so much and deserve so much more.

You want to feel sorry but you realize right now they already laid in the bed they have built for themselves.

For somewhere in their mind they have done so much and now they realize they have not done anything that could make them more noticeable but, yet they expect more to change for them.

You keep your mouth shut because you kind of know why things are not working out and you don’t eve n want to say anything because at the end of the day it is not your responsibilities to worry about what someone else may or may not end up getting.

For if you fight so much for others, who will fight for you in the end.

Because, once you miss that door it may be the last time you get such an amazing offer thrown your way.

I admire you

I admire the strength you have

Even when you seem not so  sure of yourself.

You embrace the things in life that just  may break someone else

you are stronger than they think.

You  have overcome so much that I just wonder sometime how you could

still be so nice and loving to others, when you feel you are full of darkness.

You smile by day and frown by night

the happiness that seems to be bursting out of you, just disappears when you work out that door and head home for the night.

You enjoy so many things but you feel like you are so wore out that the light is slowly losing the battle as you are too tired to fight off the defects of the darkness.

Will you win this battle with a few scars or lose it with the biggest wound of all?

I guess only time will tell when I see you again.

Am I

strong enough for these rocks being thrown at me

Will I be able to stand here and take every hit.

Or will one hit just be too much for me that I fall down

and cry for the help that no one seemed to be able to give me.

I stand there or I will fall there but where is my hero to save me

from this pain that is so unbearable that I just want to crumble.

I know I can fight this but how much can one take for something they didn’t do

why do I have to battle through the things that really is your problem and not mine.

I take the pain for you and I don’t ever doubt that you will be there for me when it comes to the end.

But, you see I’m a warrior and we fight for those that stand alone and no matter how much I may complain there is just something inside of me that says you mess with someone I love and you will pay.

I fight for the good and I won’t let the evil win this battle so don’t worry I’m not going away anytime soon.

Your battle is now mine and even though I’ m paying the cost of your mistakes, I will take every blow with a smile and in the end I will be the winner and the victory will be shared.

For I refuse to sit back and watch evil take another one from the good side for its empty promises.
