A lifetime of war, from the innocence lost

by Georgiana Lynn Hickey

I stand in silence and try to find,
my soul's calmness and peace at mind.
\This war I fight I pray I fare,
for within it's path is pain and dispair.
\I pull from deap within my soul,
the strength I need to find control.
\I feel like a ship lost at sea,
with the waves of life crashing down upon me.
\I fight and I beg for my life line,
but the storm battles on within my mind.
\I wait for the day and hope at best,
for the day this burden is lifted from my chest.
\I wear this scar, but no one can see,
for the wound is deep from within me.
\For now I keep on the path to find,
my souls calmness and peace at mind.
