Slipping Sideways

Life is rough. There's just no way around it. No matter what you do, what you say, what you believe, someone or something is going to try to take that away from you.
But I will resist. I will hold on, and I will overcome whatever they throw at me. I might lose some sanity in the process, I might slip even further than I have already, but I will not surrender, I will not give up, and I refuse to lose.
I will not give up without a fight!
