The Fight
By Valerie Strawmier
(Written 10/28/18)
It's the storm, it's the light
It's the flicker of life,
So bright that it burns your eyes,
It's the action, the passion,
When you're making things happen,
The progress you make,
While the wind is lashing,
It's the beat of your feet,
On a sloshy, wet street,
The sound as you run in the dark,
While others sleep,
It's the fight, it's the might,
It's the burn of the light,
That drives you forward
From the inside
It's the win,
the grin,
The will to live,
the pain without sin
It's honest, it's life,
It's a storm, it's a fight,
It's the victory lap,
You see in sight
Now go to sleep, Champ,
You've won today
But tomorrow brings,
Another dragon to slay
You're ready,
You've won
You're not a loser,
Now move forward and take back your future
