Worth the Fight

When I was sick

People noticed

People encouraged me

Celebrating small victiories

They were proud I kept fighting

But slowly, as the days went on

They began to take it for granted

I woke up every morning

And I ate

They took for granted I smiled

And didn’t put up a fuss

No one acknowledged the silent battles

I fought each day

So no one cheered me on

But being able to maintain the fight

Is just as amazing- even if its in silence

It is amazing even if it is not recognized by others

Keep fighting those battles everyday

Even when people don’t notice

Because you are worth the fight
