I DON’T FIGHT
I thought away the hurt so many times.
I fought through the things that gave me pain.
What I didn’t realize to you, it was wrong.
I kept it all inside my heart, and lost every time
To me, I was fighting for what I thought was right.
It comes to me now,
I was fighting my heart
Now I fight to remember, just to heal my brain.
Know the fighting is not over,
For then you fought the feelings,
You had regret
You look at all the life you missed
You fight to hold back the tears
And you can’t anymore
Then the fight turns into sparks in your eyes
You find out you weren’t fighting at all
It was the love you carried all through those years.
