#NaPoWriMo-Day 20-Another Skirmish

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 

I fight 
the good fight 

At least 
I tell myself that 

I fall down 
and get up  

Fall down 
get up  

I stumble 
more often 
than I care to admit 

I win most of 
the arguments 
with myself 
these days 

Other days 
I'm just not up 
for another skirmish  

The war 
rages on  

Each day 
I tell myself that 
'today I will do better'  

And sometimes 
it's true
