Fighting For
Am I the only one who wants to know?
We see it all, all around
People lose hope, and break up as they stand their ground
When will we learn that it's okay to lose
To suppress our judgement and walk in someone else’s shoes
Aren't you tired of it all
The mess we make trying to win it all
We don't realize love's not a war
Am I the only one who wants to know
What on earth are we fighting for
We're guilty too, as we speak now
Our words are piercing even though they’re not loud
I'm struggling to see your point of view
And you’re ready to give up on me and leave this room
Aren't you tired of it all
The mess we make trying to win it all
We don't realize love's not a war
Am I the only one who wants to know
What on earth are we fighting for
I'm backing down because I love you
I want you to know my love is true
Maybe we both messed up but it's okay
Darling I'm sorry; this fight ends today

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
