why i fight...

why do i fight? why do i struggle so much when i possibly could just end up with nothing? why do i soldier on, despite the pain i experience along the way? why don't i just give in to the darkness and surrender? why go through the torture? why feel the agony? why bother? why waste the time and energy? why tear myself asunder when i can just find somewhere else, untouched by strife?

cos i fight for what i believe in. what i hold dear to my heart. what i treasure. what i deem worthy of. what i hope for. for the future. for life. for God. for the ones i love and care for. for those who care. for those who need it. for justice. for honour. for truth. for love.

to enjoy the fruits of peace, someone must fight the good fight, for even in peace, there will always be conflict.

so i will keep on fighting. win or lose. i will fight the good fight. till the very moment i die. till i draw my last breath. till i finally lay myself down to rest.
