For tomorrow is a new day
And quitter I am not
I'm a fighter, of that I'm sure
Picking up the pieces of a broken self,
Though sometimes life knocks me down
I try my best to get back up
Eventually I get swallowed by the noise
My mind can't decide what's up or down
Trying me in maddening ways
Fighting against the current
I fall prey to those who aim to hurt me
Stretched out by others expectations
And growing weaker by the day
Wishing I was somewhere else
Ignoring what is good for me
So I feel like I'm alone in this world
Sometimes I struggle to connect with people
And I make things harder on myself then they need To be
There are times I just wanna give up.
A little secret about me…

Absolutely wonderful piece, Tressa. Loved reading it both ways, and its so relatable too. I'm glad that you're a fighter!
Beautiful piece. Well done once again.
This was extremely poweful! It worked so well both ways! Well done!
Great piece! Loved it! Fantastic!
yes, I know the feeling. Just got home from work and all I want to do is sit on the couch and vegetate. But, instead, I'm pushing myself to write. My brain keeps fighting itself.
It's okay. I have PTSD and about every six months I break. Life is full of ups and downs . I am an empath and dreamer . Loved your story
Sensational and superbly written!!! Love it!!!♥️♥️💕
