Pushing away the thoughts that enter without permission
Telling the voices they're liars
Arguing with the things that people don't really say
THIS IS HOW I FIGHT
Telling myself I can't let it win even if I lose
Debating my suicide and the pros and cons of it
THIS IS HOW I FIGHT
pretending that the voices that call me ugly and worthless and stupid don't exist
Keeping the hope that I'll be happy again alive
THIS IS HOW I FIGHT
Telling myself that I'm loved even when every fibre of my being says I'm not
Telling myself to hold on just
a few more hours
a few more minutes
To wait just a little longer
THIS IS HOW I FIGHT
Telling myself to ignore the overwhelming feeling to run
Smiling even though I feel like there's no reason to
Putting one foot in front of the other when all I want to do is fall
Debating with myself whether I should keep going or not
THIS IS HOW I FIGHT
THIS IS HOW I BEAT THE GAME
HOW TO SURVIVE
THIS IS WHAT WARRIORS DO
THAT IS HOW WE FIGHT!
