fight
as if you have to
fight
until you can’t 
fight
until every knuckle is cracked
fight
until your eyes become the color of spilt ink
fight
until every breath is gasped 
fight
until you become more bruise than man
fight
even if the odds are against you
fight
even if you’re the only one
fight
even if it kills you
fight
with the spirit of a billion wolverines
fight
like a bear that’s paw deep in a trap
fight
as if you had rabies
fight
as if valhalla awaits you 
fight
because who else is going to
fight
because someone needs you
fight
because we can’t let these bastards win
black, white, asian, latin, gay, straight, trans
d.) all of the above
none of that matters 
the only thing
that matters 
in this god forsaken hell world 
is that you just gotta
fight
