A Reason to Fight
a plea for a light in the dark
Give me a reason to fight, a reason to carry on
I am struggling to see the point, exhausted
While I would not opt out of this life now I live truly
Nonetheless, I am near to giving up, I am ... done
Why should I try? Why should I continue?
I followed the rules, did the right thing, I waited ...
What has that brought me? Nothing...
A life of no real impact on this world, an unperson
Would anything be different if I never was born?
So I see no reason to continue the fight
No value or point in carrying on, trying
So please ... send me something ... anything
A sign, a purpose, an inspiration ... a reason
Please ... give me a reason to fight

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Sending you lots of love, wonderful human <3 <3
I have no reason to fight either. I did commit suicide in 2021 but unfortunately, I survived it. My overdose backfired and I was only out for 8 hours and then was brought to the hospital. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
As you know I have a young adult struggling with similar questions; there is no one answer, however I do find something valuable in how you share your emotions and when reading what you share. Your gift of writing, in and of itself, changes how someone else may be feeling. When we as artists reach inside, we are also reaching out. I am very happy you were born!
