Undesired Warfare
My senses long for peace

The scent of shattered remains, even from afar.
Disgusted by the tang of gore and militia potence.
Avoiding scenes of scattered flesh in fear of a scar.
Oh, for an urge to practice compassion...

Her heart ached with every step, leaving behind the familiar and stepping into the unknown.
