World War inside

A story of the fight

By Christine Lindsey Published 3 years ago 1 min read

My good friend

The thing that energizes me

Fuel my day

Give me strength

Keep me my true self

Not the person she isn’t

The person she may not like

Keep me the person I love

Foundation more solid than all the world’s insecurities

Thorns, bruises , and broken lines

This is the person I am

Darkness surround me

Anger ignite me

Enough oxygen to keep my candle lit

In this war for myself

I am not afraid

Let the waves crash on me

The ground break beneath

I will still be me

Light and dark will dance

The war rages on

From these wounds freedom will be

So please bring it

inspirational
