fight for life

Stephanie L. Miller 1972 (ohio)

My mind is racing, it never stops,
The monster inside want me to pop,
They poke and they scratch,
One day they will break the patch.

Everyday it gets closer, the battle for life,
My road has been filled with conflict and strife,
So I'm ready for this skirmish and overall war,
I know I'm a warrior at my very core.

The monsters come for me everyday,
I beat them back in my own way,
I,m 50 now so it can be done,
The battle for life, it can be won.
