Fighter

Published by

I’m a fighter but God I am tired

I’ve been thrashing around in the deep end of the ocean

But people say I must be a good swimmer

Honestly I’m just trying not to drown here

I’m a fighter but God I am tired

I’ve been in this boxing ring for days

And I just want it to be over

They hit me just hard enough to not let me retire

I’m a fighter but my God I’m so tired

Running this marathon I keep thinking after every hill it will get easier

But the mountain I am actually climbing doesn’t have that desire

I’m a fighter…

Please let this just be a bad dream I’ve inspired

M.A.P

    I’ve loved all of your poetry thus far – the messages hit hard. Sending lots of positive vibes yours way!
    Also, here’s a song that reminded me of this poem: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=9sFZ6VLaIM0&feature=share
