I Am A Fighter

October 18, 2015

I was a child,

A wanderer,

A straggler.

I was wrong,

Blind,

Naïve.

I was a child,

Lost at sea,

Caught up in daydreams drifting in the sky.

But I am alive,

Yes, living,

Not dying,

Not dead.

I am a fire,

A furnace,

A light lighting the darkness.

I am a survivor,

A fighter,

A believer.

I am a wonderer,

Not a wanderer,

Or a lost child.

I am not alone.

I will be a woman,

A warrior,

A champion.

I will lead by example,

I will lead by faith.

I will be a role model for the young and the young at heart,

I will be a mentor,

An example.

I will fight the fight worth fighting,

I will win the war worth winning,

I will do the deed worth doing,

I will stand for those who stand alone.

I will fight the battle,

And I will win.
