The Fight

We mustn’t allow our experiences to define who we are,
We mustn’t give up reaching for the stars,
It may be difficult at times, trust me, I know,
But we can’t cave in – we can make it through,
Sometimes the stars seem impossible to reach,
But we have the power within, the power of speech,
And we can use this power to wrestle our demons,
Screaming: ‘You can’t break me, I will gain freedom!’
We ALL have the power and the strength to overcome the voices,
And we shall not allow them to influence our choices,
For they have no power over us – compared to us, they’re feeble,
They only appear strong because we know that they’re evil,
And our fear of evil prevents us from fighting,
Our fear of pain prevents us from even trying,

But together, we can stand stronger than any demon,
Stronger than any voice and any villain,
Together we can overcome anything thrown in our direction,
Because we are each strong alone – so together we’re the stronger imperfection,
We’re not perfect, for that is impossible,
But our imperfections are what makes us unstoppable,
It’s easy to overcome the demons we’re battling,
But first we must find the strength to start attacking,
The strength is there, we just need to dig deep,
For the continuous battles have caused us to be weak,

Sometimes it seems like things will only get worse,
And they will if we let them – it’s a vicious curse,
But we won’t let them defeat us or infect our minds,
For together we can help each other through the difficult times,
Someone very dear to me once said,
That the marks on our bodies are memories not scars – we shouldn’t be ashamed but love them instead,
Because they’re reminders of the successful battles we have fought,
And are reminders of all the lessons we have been taught,
Sometimes we feel as if no-one will understand our pain,
But there will be someone who can shed some light and help us live again,
There will be someone who’s been through the same misery,
Somebody who cares and someone who’ll aid us towards our personal victory,


If you ever feel like you’re alone in the world and are close to caving in,
Just remember that you’re stronger than that and you can win,
Remember that somewhere on this earth someone is feeling the same,
Remember that you’re not alone and you’re not the one to blame,
If you ever feel unloved and feel as though everything is inescapable,
Remember that I love you and believe you’re irreplaceable,
For there is not a single soul worth more than you or who is exactly the same,
For you are your own person and you shouldn’t feel ashamed,
You shouldn’t feel ashamed of who you’re meant to be,
Because you’re special, worthy and you mean something to me.
