Losing battles

You and I are the same,

Just like him and her,

Soilders in the battlefield,

Facing challenges and fear.

 

Stock up the arsenal,

Build you defences,

We sometimes reach for help,

Building gates and fences.

 

The fight goes on,

Non stop and unrelenting,

Demons, monsters and evil,

Outside and inside the ring.

 

The dream pushes us on,

Our motivation, our dreams,

Fighting losing battles,

Trying to keep our hands clean.
