I Am A Fighter

 A Fighter,  I Am
Body is getting weaker
Knees no longer standing
Wounded, blooded, and weak
But lo! never will I quit
I shall fight... I am strong...
I can deal with it, I am a fighter
Yes, I am!
 
Tear me, break me,
Shoot me the same bullets, I won’t fall,
Caused me another wound, I bleed no more,
Verbalize me, abuse me, scandalize me,
I can stand, I am a strong, I am a fighter
That is me!
 
I have fought many battles
But end up winning
I faced many sufferings
But like a giant Sequoia tree,
I stand still... I am a fighter.
