Battles are a part of us

They walk with us every day

Hand in hand 

I used to fear my battles 

Hiding behind corners and tears

And obsessive behavior 

Anything to avoid those battles that defeat

This morning I realized 

They are nothing to be scared of

We may fall 

We may stumble 

We may be defeated 

We may be tormented 

But we are Life!

We can get up

We can stand

We can obtain victory 

We can survive 

And just when we do

It might happen all over again 

And it will!

Because we are 

Life
