Hold on to that fiber of hope you clench tightly in your grasp It's worth struggling through the anguish and gloom that seems to last Your mind won't let you believe it as your brain is stuck in the past Believe in a rich life of tomorrow, and hope for peace to be vast Life that is fulfilling waits just around the bend but you must swim, not sink in sorrow as you allow your heart to mend A fighter is one who prevails in a life of uncertainty steadfast pushing forward when otherwise wishing to flee Believe that your strength won't be wasted even though change is not so apparent Change can't be hastened and isn't always miraculously sent Those around seem void of understanding as if in deep slumber not seeing the horrible spell they are under YOU are the one who remains alert Move forward, be strong and heal through your hurt
