SOLDIER

Hurt, wounded, bleeding,
seeking help, compassion.
Sadly, no one came, no one heard.

While crying for assistance, I know
I need to calm down, stop crying.

Murmuring, I told self you have to be okay.

Yes, I said to self, repeatedly, you will be okay.

So, I took a deep breath, and another,
before I finally get up, walking, limping.

One day I will be okay again, oneday.

It may take a while, but you will be well.

I walk without turning my back, as I tried to hold the pain,  and like echo telling myself, one day soon it will just be a memory. #
