The Battle of Life

It’s a battle everyday,

A silent fight in the soul,

Where hope and fear hold equal sway,

The fight for life, a constant hum,

A heartbeat pushing against the tide,

Against the doubts that overrun,

The problems that you want to hide.

Each sunrise is a victory won,

A breath inhaled, a chance to bloom,

Despite the shadows, newly spun,

That threaten to engulf the room.

So arm yourself with strength and grace,

And meet the challenges, face to face.
