Fighting Life's Battles

• Artist: Iced Flowers
• Description: When I wrote this, I was thinking of how much pain and sorrow there is in life, but then I also realized that we get passed all of it. I was thinking that, really, all life is, is a battle to get through. But one thing that I also put in while I was writing, is no matter how tough the battle is, we try to stand tall and proud. We try to keep going, even when we think we can't. It's sort of contradicting, my thoughts, but they came out in harmony with this poem.

We fight the pain
Of our own
We fight the rain
Of the stones

We fight until our last bone breaks
We fight until the last one cries
We fight until victory we take
We fight until our enemy dies

We will fight on
On until there are none left to fight
We will fight on
Through even the coldest nights

We have fought many battles
But more still await
Many more bones will be rattled
But still, we will stay

As it gets cold
We won't stand alone
We stand bold
Chilled to the bone

As it gets dark
We won't be afraid
We will keep our heart
And stow it away

Out of enemy sight
Our hearts will be
At the highest height
Tall stand we

As it gets hard
We won't give in
We will walk far
Let out bones get thin

As it gets late
We won't sleep
We will keep a steady rate
Let the hills get steep

I won't back down
I won't give in
I will stand proud
I will live
