Brothers by bloodshed. Family in truth. With chains forged of trauma and war, the knowledge of pain binds us in our loyalty. Buried scars left unseen Covered by smiles woven by unhealed wounds and broken souls. Hollowed by the duty that compels us to hide, We seek solitude when we should seek friendship - because our training has molded sacrifice into our very flesh. As we consider the wisdom to fight and conjure the courage to keep breathing, Your peace is our only consolation. Our memories of you become our armor - shielding us from the demons that brought you to your knees. We wage this never ending war as one. We stand with you knowing That you did not lose this battle. We fight on in your name because, broken or not, Our brothers never fight alone. - Kymie 28 OCT 2020

Broken Brothers
