A little more fight

“It's important to give it all you have while you have the chance.” - Shania Twain

I didn’t expect anything extraordinary
Just wanted to see you fight
*crickets* Nothing happened
The truth was shed in light

I try to tell you how I feel
Express the pain in my chest
But you only listen to your own voice
Similiar to all the rest

I don’t need a list of your sacrifices
I never took that away
I wanted to see you fighting
Match your actions with what you say

I built walls around my soul
I brought them down & you climbed through
I asked you for a little more
& you became this person I never knew

One day you will realize
What more you could have done
I leave the past behind me
Because tomorow has just begun
