I FIGHT

I FIGHT


It seems to me that we are fighting a war from the day

we are born even conceived everyday just to stay alive and I 

for one am just a little tired of 

needing to fight some sort of battle every single day of my life. 


I fight to wake up in the morning 

I fight to go to sleep at night 

I fight to have dreams instead of nightmares when I close my eyes

I fight to stand up for what I believe in

I fight against what I don't

I fight just to find something to eat 

I fight to pay all my bills on time

I fight to pay rent 

I fight to find a job that will pay what I need and one that I like

I fight for a day off from this war

sometime

I fight to stand my ground 

I fight my dremons that live inside of me 

I fight for the knowledge to know how 

I fight for freedom from oppression 

I fight to free my mind 

I fight because uncle Sam asked me to 

I fight just to be found 

I fight for all my sons whom I miss very much

I will fight for your daughters too 

I fight to find the love I need so desperately 

I fight to find any kind of love at all 

I fight to free myself from my addiction 

I fight for others too 

I fight for all of my convictions 

I fight for even you

I fight to know what's right or wrong

I fight to remember the words in a song

I fight against myself which seems the biggest fight of all

I fight the voices in my head where mental health is involved

I fight for anyone that ask if the

cause is just and true 

I just wish that someday there will be someone that believes 

that I will be good enough for them to fight for me too.

I love you more

I love you more You may not know it yet but you will one day because I love you more than when the sun sets and the moon rises over us while we are laying on a blanket on the sand underneath us making love by the fire at the beach. Yes it is true I love you more than all the stars in the skies at night I love you more than you think I might I love you more than time itself with forever as a start I love you more every day no matter where you might be at I love you yes even more than you could ever see I love you more than the highest mountain peak I love you more than the deepest blue sea I love you longer than the longest yard I love your body from your head to your toes I love your mind, heart, and soul I love you more than anyone until the day I die then I will love you more from down below or way up high I love you more than when the lights are on I love you more when the lights go off I love you more in your dreams when you sleep at night I love you more and more after every fight

When I close my eyes

When I Close my Eyes I might not be able to change the world and I might not be able to change your mind I might not be able to make you love me but I can dream about It when I close  my eyes late at night when I am living somewhere in my mind for  that is where  I go every chance  When I want to escape All the violence and the hate a place where you and I walk hand and hand Down the peaceful streets At night after our date A place that is filled with laughter and tears drinking margaritas on the beach with you while we are dancing in the rain where I always smile and I forget all the pain a place where peace has won the war and race matter not any more where we can all now dance out in the streets rich or poor now all live next door to door a place where the sun shines every day and there are no dark clouds anymore where there are no chains that bind us all and we all matter bi
