Poem: The Battles of the Heart

Sometimes the greatest battle is the battle of heart;The battle to compromise the desires of life The battle to stay strong in the face of adversity;And to break the chains of history; The battle to choose to be yourself,The battle to stay calm in days of anxiety; The battle to hold back the roaming word;The battle to face reality; The battle to get clear about what you want;And the battle to take your turn; The battle to acknowledge your limits;While you believe in your strength; The battle to step forward when you want to back off;The battle to face your fears The battle to set boundaries;And to keep resolutions; The battle of doing what works;And of doing what matters; The battle to accept your flaws;And to be satisfied with what you have; The battle to step out of the nutshell;And to realize your destiny; The battle to ban the desires of fame,And to tell the truth and not flattery! The battle to lean alone on hope;And the battle to believe in miracles; Sometimes the hardest battle is the battle of heart;The battle to lead yourself before you leads others. Ends
