What Am I Fighting For


I was in love once But that love came at a price That price was pain No pain no gain, and tears turn to shame I am fighting my fear Fighting my pain Because without love what do I have to live for I live for life But is that good enough? Is life worth love? I was once regarded and a smart kid Because I stood for something Something that was important to me But my fears hid my tears Because I was stanging for fear I was in love with fear It all seem that I was fighting for my fear Instead of being brave I was weak and fearful No longer, because I am stronger I am strong enough for love and brave enough to fight for it
