Battle Worth Fighting

Through the darkness
Into the night
Don't be afraid to stand up
Be tall, face towards the light

Stride strong
Do it with a purpose
It's time to heal now
Bring your demons to the surface

The fight will be long
You can't give up
Some days will be hard
Enough is enough

I can overcome this
One step at a time
The life I was living to please you 
Will soon become mine

I'm very familiar with where you're coming from with this poem girl. Very insightful and straight to the point. Keep up the good works. Your perspective and persevering spirit will be of great aid to others who mistakenly believe they haven't the will to go on in a world where opposing spirits are at war.
