Fighter Poem by Dashaun Rashod Snipes

Through trials and tribulations, I stand tall
A fighter, resilient, brave and strong willed
With every blow, I refuse to fall
For my spirit is unbreakable, unyielding and skilled
I've faced battles, both big and small
But never once have I given up the fight
With my determination standing tall
I push through the darkest of nights
My heart beats with the rhythm of a warrior's drum
My eyes gleam with a fiery spark
For I refuse to succumb
To fear, doubt or any dark
I am a fighter, a champion of my own destiny
My scars are reminders of my strength
I embrace them with pride, for they testify
Of my resilience, courage and length
I am not perfect, I stumble and I fall
But I rise again, with renewed vigor and might
For I am a fighter, standing tall
Ready to take on any challenge, ready for any fight
With every punch and every blow
I emerge a little tougher, a little more wise
For the battles I face and the scars I show
Are what make me a fighter, they are my battle cries
So bring it on, life, with all your might
For I am a fighter, unafraid to stand alone
I'll face you head on, with all my might
For I am a warrior, and this is my throne.
