I Am A Fighter



I feel like as I go through life and face adversity that there's something wrong with me.
But that's what my life is, my life is a fight and because my life is a fight I had to learn how to be a fighter and I think that I'm a fighter, matter fact I know that I'm a fighter because I'm still here.
I got a heart beating through my chest, I got air in my lungs which shows that every fight I've faced so far I've lived through it and my bad days aren't my last days because the demons that I face aren't strong enough to take me out, God still has a purpose for my life, he has a plan for me and the best is yet to come for me and I gotta prepare myself for the next demon around the corner.
And when I don't feel like fighting anymore, and when I feel like I've been beaten and knocked down far that I can't pick myself up I gotta remind myself that there is a God in heaven whose fighting for me already, whose fighting battles for me that I don't even know about, who loves me, who's willing to empower me so regardless of what I'm facing, rather if It's depression, anxiety, relationship problems, financial issues or any of the troubles in my life.
I know that there is more fight in me than I could ever know and there's a God above me who’s watching over me and fighting for me when I can't take it anymore so I won't give up, I won't tap out, I'll keep fighting, keep pushing because God is not done with my life and I'm going to get through this.
I'm more capable, I'm more able, I'm stronger than I think, and there's a God who loves me.
Those 4 things are enough to get me through this life.
I'll keep going, hold my head up high because problems are gonna happen every day, there's always going to be those demons that's going to come and try to take me out but I won't let those demons define me, I'm going to let the fight refine me so whenever I'm tempted to give up, I won't do it, my best is yet to come.
I've made it this far and I will keep going and whenever I'm tempted to give up, I know that that's just the devil lying to me, that's the demons telling me that I am less than what Yah created me to be.
I'm a fighter and I'm going to keep walking In my worth and hold my head up, stay strong, keep my faith in God.
I'll never fail and I'll never sink, and I am going to overcome every adversity that stands in my way. I'm a fighter, and I'm going to define myself by the fight within me.
