Fighting



Do not judge me because I love too much
Loved, lived, hurt too much…who's keeping score?
For those who don't understand my feelings
Don't comprehend my heart, have truly never loved before.

Each day I struggle, emotions running high
Fighting demons that haunt me from years past.
Fleeting thoughts if I'm better off alone and gone
I know these feelings, they will never last.

I have reason to stay, reason to fight
But I'm battle weary, my fighting spirit feels done.
I'll never give up, never back down
I know I'll succeed, but the war is far from won.
