fighting spirit

If I had asked the Jews for forgiveness on behalf of all the anti-Semites of the past, present and future, who would have absolved me?
I am neither the Pope, nor Hitler, nor Hamas, nor Hezbollah, nor Martin Luther King, nor Gandhi, nor an Iranian dignitary
I have never been beaten
neither by my father, nor by my mother, nor in a trial and for good reason
I fight against the elements, the words, in my element
I fight against myself, I get depressed, my body gives up on me, my tumor progresses
