Wages of War
Never saw it coming
The pain that sting a lifetime
Torment that never ends
But increases as time passes
A broken heart
That never heals
You've been abandoned
Time after time
Father
Friends
Loved ones
No one ever stays
Those that did
Trapped and destroyed what little you had left
Alone
Discarded
No one wants a person that's.....
Broken
Spiritually
Emotionally
Physically stressed
I tried to be the ideal person
Smile
Laugh
Help
The strain to simply hold it together
When it's as if I'm dying to do so
Every smile
Runs 20 miles
Every laugh
Suffocates
To pretend as if I'm okay
When World War 1 and 2 rages inside
Don't pretend to understand
To help, assist
There's nothing you can possibly do
The expression of this pain
Shows the severity of my damage
Anxiety and affliction
That conquered the elements of my humanity
Confidence
Love
Joy
Peace
And proclaimed them prisoners of war
A war for the essence of my being
A war I cannot win
I've lost too much
Sacrificed so much
Yet nothing works
How do one end the cycle of affliction
Something that kills you from the inside
