Fight


 
 
Have you ever wanted to just quit and you know your so close to the finish line how your tears are waiting to explode at anytime how your teeth grind with silence because your words can be so painful and your voice is so crisp and vulnerable 
 
Do you know what it feel like to touch some aspects of healing to accept the things you cannot change. To actually feel bad for those who hurt you but angry all at the same time. 
 
How headaches leave your mind with troubling thoughts of inadequacy then redirected with positive statements as in I can and I will 
 
What can you do now that you have this array of emotions bursting in your heart to some you come off as mean bitter but inside you are humorous kindhearted and understanding 
 
Have you ever just wanted to quit ??? I have but I have to press against these winds because I know I can handle it I know with the courage that resides in my heart I cry but that's okay I am a fighter and determined to conqueror these challenges I'm having its time to FIGHT
