Battle

I’ve created a war in my mind with my thoughts

My body has been trying to fight it

My body has been trying to protect me

Each part that breaks down is another reminder to not give up

Each part needs oil. Needs love. Needs strength.

Each piece to the puzzle needs to be put back in its place

My core being has been rocked. Has been hurt. Has been left shattered

Little by little I’ve been trying to fix what’s been broken

One piece is fixed. I lose another one

And this body, this vessel, loses hope

As my mind weakens my temple crumbles to the ground

As my inner thoughts work to destroy me my body beats it to the punch

Every day is a battle trying to build a relationship with myself

Every day is a fight inside of me looking for answers

A war that seems to go on and on and on

Yet I’m still standing. I’m still breathing.

I’m here to fight. I’m here to win.

I’m here to take back my confidence.

My strength. My energy. My love for myself.

I’m here to claim it.

And no ailment or pain in my body is going to destroy me.

I am not weak. I am a warrior.

I am a phoenix rising. Claiming her power.

My mind is strong. My mind will not let my body down.

My battle is already won.
