Once again I am fighting my own worst enemy
which I at all cost try to avoid so carefully
because I know, once in its grips
I constantly have to endure its painful whips
being pushed down over and over again
is more than anybody can sustain
You have to be a true believer to make it through
but quite how much this would ask of me, I never knew
Once again I think of all the others, not as strong
those who do not know that they belong
In a way I truly am the lucky one
because I know this battle can be won.
Once again, I stumble on, always forward, towards the light
knowing this is not just about my self and my fight
but the fight of those who are no longer able to
their sincere believe in me is what will see me through.
volo vincere
