Never Willing to Settle

Aug 23

I live for the fighting spirit

I do not accept fate and just try to make do

This attitude throws me into a fit of anger

It is an attitude I am not willing to pursue

I will go kicking and screaming

I will never be the chick who grows old with grace

I will not rely on sympathy to get me through my days

Self-pity is not a friend I am willing to embrace

I will be the pain in your ass

I will fight for my right to live as I see fit

I will see each day as a new lease on life

I will not throw up my hands and just decide to quit

When my time is done and my life comes to a close

When my adventure in this world ceases to be

I want people to say “Damn, this chick knew how to live

She never settled; she saw all she wanted to see”

Then feel free to unplug the machines

I will go quietly and happily into the night

Knowing I never “made do” with what life doled out

Content I never surrendered or gave up the fight

This is definitely me and proud of it. Life is what you make it but it also isn't fair so you have to fight the "good" fight! When you get knocked down, get back up and brush yourself off. Keep fighting and never give up. Persevere and Persist!
