Alexandra's Poetry:
This fight

I know you can’t hear me
So why do I cry?
I know you can’t see me
So why do I stand by you?

I am here nonetheless
Fighting this impossible fight

You are lost inside yourself
Your demons own you
You cannot see
How deep you’ve fallen

What is there left for me to do
Watch powerlessly
Or fight like there’s no tomorrow?

I am at crossroad,
Which route do I take?
Do I keep on fighting
Against your demons
And against the world?

Am I strong enough,
To carry on this double fight?
You are lost and oblivious
Of the harm you do to me

But others can’t use that excuse
Veiled by prejudice
They make it harder
For me to help you
And for you to stand up

I’m not asking for their help
Nor their understanding
Just that they don’t stand in my way
But somehow I feel
That I’m asking too much
I just don’t know why

I am scared that one day
I won’t have any strength left
I will have to choose myself over you
I will have to leave you
I will have to save myself

And every morning I fear
It might be today
So every night
I go to bed relieved
I’m made it through another day
And I pray that it isn’t
The last
