Fighters

They come 

In many forms

Boxers

Soldiers 

Medical Professionals

And even Patients 

I have a certain

Reverence 

For a person

Who is suddenly 

And unwittingly 

Thrust into battle 

Its no game

It’s a war

To survive

To persevere 

To beat the crap

Out of the enemy 

To regain control

Over mind

Body

And soul 

These warriors 

Are an inspiration

They fight for themselves

And for us

They are a reminder 

That life is indeed 

Worth fighting for 💪🏻
