The Fight Poem by Raluca Rodica Ratiu

The sense of emptiness is taking control
Over me, my body, my heart and my soul,
I’m way over the years of lust,
When, every man was so good for my trust.

I laughed, I drank and I did them all,
I was so strong that I didn’t even fall,
When temptations of life tried to be apart
From me, my body, my soul and my heart.

Now I’m here, facing a new me,
I am so different than I used to be,
I’m tired and sick, fed up with everybody,
With me, my heart, my soul and my body.

I’m struggling to live the everyday life,
Without trying to be a woman or wife,
And I’m fighting hard, trying to set free
My soul, my heart, my body and me.
