Every soldier of life
Fighting that fight
Against their limitations
Each enemy unique
Many face one
Most face more
Some duel with depression
Some struggle with the past
Some battle a sickness
Some brawl their self-doubts
There are those who win
Triumphant with strength
There are those who lose
Give in to weakness
Every soldier of life
Can win that fight

i love how you started it with saying that every soldier can fight the fight, but then end it by saying that every soldier can win the fight. it was a very creative way of getting your point across.

you can rate/comment on some of my work, too if you'd like. great job on this! keep writing!(:
