The Fight - The Control!


In life we know things are difficult,
And we all want to reach our goal,
We also have to fight the fight!
And strive to take control!
Control is there for the taking,
If you really want to succeed,
Then you have to give it all you have,
And do what you have to - what you need!

If something happens out of our control,
Then we have a choice to make!
Take back the fight, the control!
For your sanity could be at stake!
I know when the choice is taken from me,
I am not happy with that at all!
So I fight the fight each time...
And I will never take a fall!

For to not have control of my life,
Does not bode good with me!
I have to take back any control taken,
To be all that I want to be!
So I came off the drugs they gave me,
And now I fight each day with the pain!
But rather that, than go under!
For it's me that has everything to gain!

Everyone tells me I am a fool!
To chose to live with a pain out of control!
But that's my decision, it's my life!
Rather that than dig myself a hole!
And bury myself in a drug crazed life!
And depend on that addiction!
For that's what happened to me!
An addict!  What a terrible affliction!

They prescribed me this drug for pain,
A pain so out of control...
And I was letting that take over!
And so I decided on my goal!
My goal was to rid this addiction!
Get back to normality in as much as I can,
Determined that I will overcome this trial!
Because the Phoenix is who I am!

I have strength inside me so true,
And as powerful as that strength will be!
I will do my all, I will overcome!
I will do all that I want to!  For me!
So I choose to live with unbearable pain,
But bear this pain I do!
And will do so until I can no longer...
Face the day and know I can't get through!

So I will take them only when I can't cope!
And when the pain is so out of sight!
But only when I'm in dire straights!
For I left the dark and walked into the light!
No addiction is acceptable for me!
And a future to face without no help with pain!
Because of an addiction that no longer helps,
Then I have everything to gain!!!

I won't deter from my aspirations!
And I will never lose sight of my goal!
I have to do this, I have to fight!
To make my life once again whole!
So yes, I am dealing with a life so hard,
That sometimes I don't think I will survive,
But survive I do, because my life is important!
And I fight each day to keep me alive!

For the specialists tell me time and again...
'Catherine, you shouldn't be alive!
Because every things breaking down!'
But hey, I've the strength and constitution to survive!

...Because...

*** Bottom Line ***

*** I'm here aren't I ***

...Strength, Constitution...

...Faith...

*** And Determination ***

It works for me!!!!
