Fighter

I was born to be a lover but forced to be a fighter

I was born to take care of someone and make them whole

I was born to make the trek even when the task is small

I was born to love, to nurture, to care for

Being the fighter is never who I strived to be

But who I was forced to become

Because in order to be loved I had to fight

I fought to be seen

I fought to be heard

I fought to receive what I gave

Because in order to love I had to fight

To love and to be loved are different

I have fought to be loved since the day I was left

I have filled that gap by loving others

Sacrificing everything to love others

Putting my selfish ambitions aside to love others

I have fought to be loved

I was born to be a lover but forced to be a fighter

So I will put on my armor and go into battle

Here on earth to fight for the love that is given
