The smoke has cleared
,
The battle over and the wall
Finally traversed.
Once again I'm on the other side
,
Weary, but stronger from the fight
.
The warrior in me
Stands victorious
,
Yet ever aware
The battle was not won
Single-handedly.
There were others
Who fought with me
,
Always at my side,
Never allowing me to give up
While the battle raged
Inside me.
In my eyes...
They are the true heroes.
Notes: This is a follow up poem to A Warrior in Me, that I also submitted. This was to recognize those people that reach out to support you when you are struggling and never give up "While the battle raged."
