I am a fighter
I’m impressive in my armour
Moving forward, calm, like a cliff,
Conquering new land with every step.
I am a fighter
I’m first in line when battle comes around,
Dancing through fireworks
Explosions of anger.
I am a fighter
I roll with the punches
Determined to win
To overcome what will be in my way.
I am a fighter
I fight my losing battles
Struck down, immobilised, tormented
Burning each bone and muscle in my body.
I am a fighter
I get to my feet
Stumbling ahead
My heart in my hand as I reach forward.
I am a fighter
I am human
My weapons are love and compassion,
My armour is my bleeding heart.
I am a fighter
I may lose the battle but I will win the fight
