Analysis of "The Heavy Burden of Ukrainian Soldier's Hearts"
In the fields of Ukraine, battles rage on
Heroes fall, as families mourn
Emotional scars that never heal
Burden soldiers must always feel
Trauma haunts them in the night
Memories of war, a constant sight
The faces of friends lost in the fray
The pain of it all never goes away
They've seen things no man should see
Been through horrors that haunt their dreams
Their minds replaying what they've been through
The weight of it all, forever anew
But the world, doesn't seem to care
The sacrifices they've made, no one shares
Forgotten and left to face the pain
The emotional trauma they must sustain
They try to hide their broken hearts
To carry on, play their part
But the wounds run deep, they never cease
Their courage and strength, are a testament to peace
The trauma they carry, it takes a toll
On their bodies, their minds, and their soul
But still, they stand, with heads held high
For the love of their country, they never deny
They fought for freedom, they fought for peace
But the scars they've earned will never cease
A constant reminder, of what they've been through
The emotional toll, forever anew
So let us remember, the ones who fought
The heroes of Ukraine, who gave their all
For the cause of peace, for the land they love
Their sacrifices, a gift from above
And to the soldiers, we must say
That they are not alone, in their pain
That we stand with them, through thick and thin
And together, we will heal within.
For the emotional trauma, they face,
Is a burden that no one should have to chase
So let us support them, as they try
To overcome the pain, and live their lives.
For they are heroes, in every sense
With bravery and courage, beyond all pretense
Their sacrifices, a testament to peace
Their emotional trauma, a call to release.
