THE FIGHT

Osemwenoyenmwen Ogbemudia


I fought with my hands securely pinned to the ground

I struggled

My heart failed me

As I saw the walls closing in on me

I never thought I would survive

 

But I won

With my hands pinned to the ground

I fought and won

This was not a battle of physical blows

It was a battle of faith

A battle of will

Of hope

Hope and faith in God

I fought and won

Because I desired to

People look at me with awe

To them I am a unicorn

But I point them to the cross

Letting them know it is by the grace of Jesus Christ.
