I FIGHT ANYWAY – Inato Aye

I FIGHT ANYWAY

Pain,
For a moment I wish I would rather bear this physical Pain
Than to go through this phase of mental suffering.
Insecurity,
Why is it that, when you came to me, I became
Insecure to everything that was a ray of sunshine?
Silence,
Why is it that, you take me to such depth, where
Silence Is all that I became accustomed to?
Fear,
Why do I fear you to the point that death seems to be the only probable solution?
Wish,
You made me wish that I could go back to the younger me who knew nothing
except for happiness and joy in the smallest things that I saw and gained.
Adamant,
You made me adamant enough to show you my side that
Doesn’t wishes to let you see tomorrow.
Gratefulness,
At the end of the day one us had to survive and I’m grateful to you,
For you made me strong emough to decide that it had to be me.
