A War I May Not Win
You can only fight for so long
He battles a war in his mind
He will never be the same man he was before
The only way he feels it can be fixed, is to place a bullet to his head
He covers it up, to save a few lives
But how do you justify? How is that okay?
He won’t let anyone in
Keeping it all inside
Staying strong, being tough
But you can only act for so long
Before it consumes you. Before it destroys you
The pain only grows
A raging war in your mind
The torture, the screaming
I feel his pain.
It pours on me like rain
It may not be the same
But I know
I understand
And like him,
It’s a war I may not win.
