The Fight

The Fight

You used to be full of spit and vinegar

Never willing to give in, never letting others get you down

I use to see you as someone I wanted to be

I use to see you as capable of anything…

But here you are facing adversity,

And just giving into it, like there’s no fight left in you.

And while I still hope for you, it’s hard when you don’t

It’s like you just gave up on yourself

Letting the small things break you.

How am I suppose to learn to be strong

When all I see is the weakness you give into?

Will you ever be “you” again, the one never giving in?

Will you ever find the fight you once possessed?

Be the strength that could move mountains?

I hope that one day you will,

Because I need someone to look up to…

Because right now I face the adversity in you,

And it has brought me to my knees, knowing I can’t do it for you.

I hope that you find the strength in yourself, to be the

One who doesn’t crumble with the slightest touch?

I can’t do it by myself, and I’m sorry that I can’t do it for you.
