Fighting Poem by Desiree Whitamore

last night i swear was a sign
and the fights flashed before my eyes.
if you want change, get in line.
because nothings changed but time.

it brought me back to the yelling
and the secrets that weren't meant to be
and whatever it is your selling
i don't want it presented to me

we've played hardball before
you know that you won't win.
and yes, i am incredibly sure
that i'll work my way back in.

the foreign policy of love
is a way to live your life.
and its because you didnt have enough
so you overplayed the role of wife

but don't you see the strength i've gathered?
and that weakness turned into pride
it can be hard if you rather,
but i'd prefer to win in stride.

guess what? that little girl has grown
IIIII know how to fight.
ive been for so long on my own
that IIIII know i'm right.

and thats the biggest thing
that you couldn't take away
im a human being
and now i'm here to stay.
