When I Battle... (Poem)

When I battle, the real fight is within... 

To transcend the venom inside my veins, 

quenched with liquor, to persevere... 

To be patient... 

To believe, 

to see a brighter future, 

to not want, 

but to make the world bloom and vibrant... 

To see people glow once again... 

And crowds of people gathered, 

Rallied in life and love...

Amen
