The Fight

Today, you will fight
Another fight.
And for the most part
No one will know
That you fought it.

You will bring all of yourself
To it. Use every defence
Run through every coping tactic
And, if you remember to be kind
To yourself
Plenty of chocolate.

The fight is not one that ends
You will fight it again tomorrow.
But this evening
When you put on your smile
Remember to cheer,
Just a little, for yourself.
