I fought my parents.
They were too strict.
I fought the system.
It was too corrupt.
I fought society.
They claimed I belonged to them.
I fought the people who thought they knew better.
They were pretentious.
But someone I wasn’t ready to fight
Was me.
The battle of looking in the mirror.
The battle of being good enough.
The battle to try again when I didn’t want to.
The battle of mind and heart.
The doubt and the guilt and the sleepless nights.
So when they give out trophies
The only one I want to get
Is the one I get for fighting me.
