I'm a Fighter, and I Won't Take Anymore

When the Changes in Life Get Control Over You, Fight To Survive

AllisonBeat
Where is your head child,
Where is your heart
As I stare at my world
All fallen apart....

Where is my life?
I had before this storm?
Where are the pieces?
That once made my home.

There is a depression
That has left me battered and torn
Nothing is the same
Not any more.

As I search for something
To fill this empty hole
Try to rebuild my life
Without knowing the mold.

Where is my life?
I had before this storm?
Where are the pieces?
That once made my home.

I have learned from this....
I watched it tear us apart
Where is the angel?
That guards my heart?

But I'm tired: Ya' know???
Tired of giving in....
I just need some help every now and again...

Try to catch my breath
Try to stop these tears
Help me as I must
Face my fears

The fear of a failure
Of loosing in the end...
It's NEVER gonna beat me
Let a new round begin

There's going to be a FIGHT
I'm not backing down
There's no way life
Can make me wear a frown...

Got my second wind
I'm ready to go
Got a long way to get there
Put the petal to the floor.

I am gonna take back my life
One day at a time
Make it dependable
Like Corona and lime
Dependable; yeah.
Straight as a line.

Break down this elephant
And just go to town
On the task that is b4 me
That can't keep me down

Cause I am a fighter, and I wont take any MORE...

    This poem truly gave me chills! My family lives in Biloxi, Poplarville and Picayune. A lot of them in Biloxi and Poplarville lost their homes. It was horrible just calling them and listening to them cry for their loss. I went there and helped as much as I could, but you can never do enough for someone who has lost everything.
