Don't Give Up The Fight
Beautiful heart and brilliant mind
Hindered by illness undefined
Should the demon have a name
The havoc wreaked would be the same
Body betrays heart and mind
Mind betrays the body in kind
Tired as if turned to stone
Pain burrows into deepest bone
Sadness shakes straight through to core
Fear grips tightly more and more
But even when you feel like dying
Please don’t ever give up trying
Do not fear the black of night
Darkness must give way to light
So hunker down for one more fight
No dreams of giving up tonight
Tomorrow’s light will find you stronger
To wage the war a little longer
Til comes the day you find yourself
Once more back to better health
The things that you had put aside
You rise to meet them like the tide
And what if darkness creeps back in
You will surely win again
The person that you know you are
Will pierce the darkness like a star
With what was there from very start
Brilliant mind and beautiful heart
