I am a Fighter

October 4, 2015

The day I was born,

I was destined.

Destinied for challenges,

My brothers death,

Attempted sexual assault,

My fathers deployments,

Elementery school bullying,

Social issues,

An anxiety disorder.

But,

those things MADE me who I am.

A fighter.

I refuse to give up.

I refuse to submit.

I choose to rise above.

A fighter.
