We're all fighting our own fights,

Pushing through the pain,

Denying any chance of failure.

We're all battling our own demons,

Looking them in the eye,

Refusing to give in.

Some days it's easy.

Some days it's hard.

But never let your fight define you.

It's okay to be upset,

To feel sorry for yourself,

Or shed a tear or two.

But your fight,

That one you see as the worst pain imaginable,

Is something someone else may wish they could exchange with their own.

While things may be hard,

Things may be sad,

And they may flat out suck,

Remember to be grateful for the life you are living.

Be grateful for the world you have.

Be grateful for the ones who love you.

Be grateful for the blessing that you are alive.

There will alway be struggles.

There will always be fights.

But it's about the way you handle them,

And the way you assist others from your own experiences.

Every battle you endure,

Is not meant to punish you,

But rather enlighten you,

Make you wiser,

And teach you a lesson.

Next time you sit around thinking,

"Why me?"

Remember we are all hurting.

We are all going through something.

We are all fighting.
