Battle

Original Submission by Vinitha Selvaraj

Battle

Nothing deters you in your way,

As I raise my sword to fight the demons away.

Free to laugh, free to love, free to think,

As I lead you, straightening out every kink.

You choose your battles and your sorrows,

Leaving me stranded, to face tomorrow.
