A Warrior's Fight; The whole in my chest gets bigger each day.
The darkness surrounds me and won't go away.
I try to ignore it, pretend it's not there.
Accept that it's something I must grin and just bare.
Most days I can smile as I act happy and free.
Put on a facade that everyone sees.
Then every so often, for no reason at all.
The walls they will crumble, and then start to fall.
These days I will struggle to find a reason to live.
These days I will wonder how much more I can give.
For sadness and anger are all I can see.
I wish I could end it, and finally be free.
But I am a fighter, not one to give in.
A warrior spirit, determined to win.
So I gather my courage, and take a deep breath.
For if I should lose, the penalties death. S.B.M.K
