you can pack a gun
find some comfort 

but you are scared
beyond reason

when the whole world is enemy
you are friendless

and worse than that
you are a friend to no-one

long time ago you made choices
now you need love

real love to believe in
otherwise you are going backward.

A very sober reflection on what it means to be truly safe. I love the point that being a 'friend to no-one' is the loneliest place to be. It's a call for connection over combat, and it hits home!

I had experiences  in my youth with this. Reality  check poem. Solid and thought provoking for me.
