We know how to battle,
We know how to fight
For each battle we have,
Comes out at night
The battle may be family
The battle, possibly love
The battle may be violence
Too much, push and shove
Could be a dry bottle
That haunts you at night
The demons take over
You just let them fight
It could be rubbing sticks together
To make ends meet
Or illicit drugs...
You have accepted defeat
Gambling could be your weakness
Believing the money could be yours
Yet punting we know
Opens very few doors
Possibly Life's moments
Are being taken away
Your use by date is due
It is the end of your day
So we are all in for The Battle of Hard Knocks........
So Just STAND UP
Let the battle begin....
You can fight it
You can WIN!
YOU CAN!

Hello poet Lyn I have heard it called the School of Hard Knocks, but I suppose the truth you have shared is the same either way. I enjoyed, Loyd
