the good fight
the words to free me don't exist
once I thought I could write my way out
to a place of new beginnings
but true grit is one thing on paper
another when your guts burn with a thing
I'm a talker, not a doer
I like to think I'm a fighter
but I'm in the ring a few rounds
get knocked down and lie there
crying about my broken nose
a real fighter would get back up
cos the son of a bitch busted my face in
what's this about?
my addiction
with five days clean
I was like Rocky Balboa I felt on top of the world
even though I felt like shit physically
I don't even know why I fucked up I just did
here's the deal though I'm going to get back up
being a loser doesn't sit right with me
I will fight this till I die
and if I die trying
then at least I did the damn thing
fighting

Dearest Crim, you give hope to the human race. Fragility is our nature, but will power is what makes us different. I come to you when I feel weak and tired, and you give me strength to get up again. Thank you my dear one. Love and hugs. J.

thank you dearest Juvenalis I felt so defeated when I started writing this and then I realized I wasn't giving up I'm going to get up and fight if I could go five days then I can do even better this time... I'm happy this poem lends you strength to fight because life is a battle some days we win others lose but we really only lose if we give up...
love you beautiful soul...

I'm not giving up Poet
not like before I know I can do it now
I just have to be more on guard against temptation...
love you...

And that last line totally belied your thought that you're not a doer. You just get right back up and go at it again, my beautiful Dark Angel. You are a fighter if ever I've known one. Just because you're a talker doesn't mean you're not also a doer. You can do it, gorgeous. I have full faith in you and your strength. If you could see through my eyes, you would be impressed with yourself. I love you

thank you beautiful Willow for your belief in me..
I started this write in a state of defeat then I realized I wasn't giving up and I was indeed get back up and make another effort...
learning what I did wrong before... I had an intense need to write last night and I ignored it... I will try and write while i'm walking this out even on days I don't feel like it...
I love you...
love Brenda

You have a ferocity like none other, Crim. You fight, maybe get knocked down but get right back up. Shows courage and persistence. It also makes for a fine write. Excellent job!
