Soldier With a Battle Wound (TW for mention of self-injury)
I live each day
Fighting an inner battle
Like a soldier,
Except for the fact that
This soldier is weary,
This soldier is tired.
This soldier is bleeding,
This soldier is dying.
This soldier has battle wounds
On her arms and legs.
The silent proof of how hard
She’s fighting to stay alive
Is this soldier with a battle wound.
