I Won a War No One Could See

I won a war no one could see,
fighting battles inside of me.
Many days, I broke, I bled,
but still I rose, though hope had fled.

Each morning brought another fight,
but I found one reason to stay that night.
A thousand times, I chose to remain,
and little by little, I outlived the pain.

I never needed to conquer it all,
just find one reason each time I’d fall.
And though the war still waits at my door,
I win every day I choose once more.

I won a war no one could see,
because every day, I chose to be.
