I am

a fighter and there isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not fighting something.

Fighting to keep everything on track when at work or fighting to stay alert when working a long shift.

Fighting to keep my inner demons from winning and taking more light from me.

Fighting to keep my faith number 1 in my life and not let others things in life distract me from what I was born to do.

Fighting to do more with my life for I want better and need it to keep going and to not allow myself settle.

I won’t and can’t stay in the place I’ve been in for the last almost three years.

For this year is all about me fight to make a difference for me  and to finally know that even when I win this battle there will always be more to come because I won’t settle for anything less than what I deserve.

I have survived and will continue too with the help of my god and with the fight inside of me.

leader you think you are

but, yet as I look around and see the ones fighting this battle with me.

I know you are not one of them as you stand on the sidelines pretending to be involved.

And when we are receiving praises you are the first one to say thanks as if you helped out in any way.

So look me in the eye and tell me who you think did all the hard work at the end of the day.

For I know my team and you are not a real member and the leader well we don’t need one for we work together to get it done.

We are one and the relieve we feel when seeing each other comes from knowing you are no help and we will always be in it together even when our paths go different ways in the end.

I will thank you for bringing one more good person into my life but I won’t thank you for the struggle I live with when I’m around you.

This battle I’m tired of fighting but, the end to our story and path is not over yet so until then I will not show all my cards yet.

Sometimes

life fights back and you put up your best fight to keep the little bit of control that you have left. 

You know that everyday is unknown to you of what will happen and even though you some what look forward to life some days. 

When you know the possibility of something new happening and today won’t be the same journey you go on as the day before. 

You look forward to the moment when you will completely enjoy every moment of the day and the fight against the things in your life you don’t need to be involved with will soon be done. 

When the fighting is over with and the sun comes out and all is calm you know that the new path has been set and it’s time to prepare for the next journey ahead.

Fire

It first starts in my throat and I feel like my breath was just taken from me and then it begins to grow into my stomach until I curled up in so much pain.
That it just doesn’t seem possible for one person to be able to handle all of t his at once without passing out.
I reach out for a bottle of water to quench my thirst to put out the fire in my throat for I’ve seen better days.
I try so hard to feel better so that I can get back to feeling secure in the body that carries me through it all.
I fight for my sanity as my head begins to spin but yet I can’t give up for they are counting on me even though I’m barely holding on myself.
Some how I get through it all just to crash and burn the next day and then back to being okay the next.
There is a war going on inside of my body and I don’t think that I’m winning right now but the battle is not over yet.
I’m not fully myself yet but I’m fighting with all I got to get back to the me  that was strong and dependable no matter what was thrown my 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.
