As much as I feel weak
is as much as I feel empowered
I have walked away from things so easily in the past
I want to fight for this one but just don’t know how
Something inside me tells me to not give up
to keep the strength and not hang my head
my fists clench at the thought of just letting go
to just give in
My soul is dizzy with the disruption of its home
My heart is seeking the pieces that broke off
My spirit is slowly getting off of its knees
The three whirl around seeking each other to
make me whole again
Why has the universe tempted me so?
Why has it given me a taste and now taken it away
Is it a test to see if I will fight for the gift that is mine?
Is it a test to see if I will even care if it is taken from me?
What?? What am I to learn here???
Where do I look for the answers??
In my heart??
I search and search and the answer that I hear is
FIGHT
FIGHT FOR WHAT IS YOURS
FIGHT FROM YOUR HEART
My tears come upon me so suddenly
In a minute my eyes well up with tears of
joy, sadness, memories, and love
In a moment of every day living
a pain cuts through me and it brings me back
to where I was a few weeks ago
a place of peace, harmony and contentment
I want to be there again, I long to be there again
I belong there again
It was my gift, I claimed it
I just cant let it just disappear
I search again for the answer and the answer I hear is
FIGHT
FIGHT FOR WHAT IS YOURS
FIGHT FROM YOUR HEART
I don’t know how or what to do
but if the universe is telling me to fight
It will give me the knowledge of how
to accomplish my goal
From my toes I feel a warmth come over me
I feel this warmth through my entire body
I feel two hands on my shoulders
I feel a hand patting my head
stroking my hair
wiping my tears
comforting me
I close my eyes and I pray
I pray for what I want
I pray for what I had
I pray for what is mine
I will march into this battle with the confidence that
this warmth has bestowed upon me
This warmth has powers that will give me the
strength, determination, focus and the desire to fight
I will fight with every ounce of strength in my body
with every fiber of my being
with every memory of a love I lost because of weakness
with every tear that burns my eyes
with every ache of my wrenched soul
with every inch of my broken heart
I search again for the answer and the answer I hear is
FIGHT
FIGHT FOR WHAT IS YOURS
FIGHT FROM YOUR HEART

This a very powerful poem. I have been in situations where I had to fight...and lost...it was terrible...it felt like I was tearing apart.
But even though I lost...I know as you in this poem...that fighting is the right thing to do. So when the battle is over...you know you have done your best.
Well done...excellent write! -
