every day i’m reminded of the battle

the battle that i’m fighting in

the battle for my life

the battle for my rightful place

the battle against my foes

every day i wake up to it

every day it’s decision time

do i fight or try to run from it

if i run it will catch up to me

if i fight…i will catch up to it

this battle that i am in

is the battle i come to

and claim my victory
