Not all wars are fought in other worlds Some are fought at home, in relation, even within ourselves We carry weapons but they’re not man made neither are they visible nor physical Instead of bullets we shoot words. Instead of knives we stab with betrayal Instead of dropping bombs we exploit secrets. Instead of bullet proof jackets we build walls but those walls tend to fall. The depressed are the wounded, the heartbroken are the casualties and those who shed tears are defeated in battle. We’re not fully armored, we’re not prepared for this. In the front lines we must stand. Forgiveness can’t win this war We may fight these battles alone but we fight our wars together
