War
Sitting, staring at the document
Laid bare before me
Letters turning into words
Into jargon
My mind hurts to read
It should not be like this
The pain that accompanies
Years lost, gone
Words mocking
Words of terror
Rising anger inside
Heart breaking
*"Corey, this is as though we are preparing for war"
"We are. It has begun"
"And we are but it's pawns"....
The date is closer. Lord help me to stay strong in this "war"
