sometimes you just feel defeated.

...one battle after another...

you fight addiction, you tackle depression, you battle cancer, you make the best of unemployment, you treat people with dignity and respect, youre loyal and loving and do the best you can each day to smile...
and sometimes you feel defeated-
like its never enough-
something is always lurking outside your window...
friends that lie to you, jobs that dont come through, old habits back to bite you...

i am the best me i know how to be-
and even when thats not enough... i will keep fighting as though it is.
