Stuck Fighting A Battle

by Christinalexis

Stuck fighting a battle that's not her own
She carries the weight of others on her shoulders
Trying her best to satisfy the people around her
And maybe one day that will be enough to satisfy herself
To fill the hole in her heart


Emerged from the chaos
She looks for sanity
She seeks solace in her life
The people around her give her temporary satisfaction
But the purest of loves should last a lifetime

We as people fight everyday to live, I am fighting everyday for freedom. For happiness and for peace. My past is behind me but I carry what haunts me.
