I am the Fire

The intensity of my life
The overwhelming of it all
This hand I was dealt
All the obstacles I have overcome
The torment I have endured
.
How many times have I fallen
Not succeeding
Failing, falling, 
Getting back up
Only to be pushed down again
.
It's nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Because in all of this
Fight for a life
I have not lost
Hope. 

.
I am stronger than
Whatever is thrown at me
My hope, faith
My testimony
Burns with an intensity
More powerful now
Than ever before
.
It grows stronger
I grow stronger
Bolder, 
With every obstacle
Every fall to the ground 

.
Hope and faith
Burn inside of me 
Continually
Increasing in intensity
More than
My demons 
Could ever fathom. .
