No we didn’t all come
for some it was
heavier.
For some war never
stopped. Some
never stopped
running.
Always I’ve been
in arms brother I
struggled I left
behind
myself burning
ruins hardly
escaping the
chasms
‘n their jaws wide
open. Always
I felt the
enemy
close the iron
fist bound to
smother me
at once.
I’ve been scared
I confess although
I wore my mask
‘n my armor.
‘N the behaved
poise of the hero
that alas
I wasn’t.
Your words are for the lot of human kind. I think that the sheer fact that we are born human we have a survival mode that cries out for us to be something that does not come instinctively to us. Thank you for your words.
