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.
