A Life Worth Fighting For

You make me feel whole

Never searching for pieces

Grounded, Fixed, Settled

In tune with the melody of you 

You are my security blanket 

Warm and safe 

Sometimes harsh and cold 

You take as much as you give 

The meaning of life is in your hands 

You make mine feel meaningful 

At least sometimes you do 

Other times, those other times 

You make it feel meaningless 

Like what is life 

If it can fit in a box 

Or doesn’t fit 

Or raise questions 

Or makes us better 

You push me to fight 

To raise my fist and demand 

Demand what I am worth 

What you are worth 

What we are worth 

You make the world go round 

My world is connected through dots of people, places, and not just things 

You define and undefine 

You leave our world raveled and unraveling  

Oh how you turn the world upside down 

In and out 

You are my security blanket 

Warm and safe 

Sometimes harsh and cold 

But without you, I would be stagnant 

And life wouldn’t be a life worth fighting for
