Because I am a fighter
Just give up and fold
I will never take a chance to
Aspire what I desire
To become someone and
My goal in this life is
Leaning back and watching things happen
I could never make a difference just by
Standing up and raising my voice
I fight all my battles
That’s no way to win
Giving in and playing dead
Is the way to go
Facing life’s battles
Is no option for me
Looking the other way and pretending
Not my concern
Never will I say, it’s
My duty to help
Because some problems are hard to solve, I can’t ignore
Though I got up eight
I fell down seven times
It’s time to acknowlege
A silent observer
That’s who I am and always will be, not
Someone who speaks his mind and stands up for himself and others,
A fighter

Alright.
I’m not much for reblogging old posts of mine, because the things I post are the things I’m feeling in this moment, things that need to get out. This old post however, is exactly what I’m feeling right now, this post is something I needed to remind myself of.
I needed to remind myself, that I’m a fighter and no matter what life throws my way, I won’t ever let anything bring me down. I will stand tall and keep on shining as brightly as possible to defeat this sinister darkness lingering in each corner, patiently waiting for us to let our guard down.
Yes, I’m a fighter! Are you with me?
